Louis Jordan - Is You Is Or Is You Ain't (My Baby)

[sythe2o0]

For those wondering -- this version has some improvising, especially in the repeat, but it's incredibly standard and is the full version included in most books. The Tom and Jerry version skipped some of the lyrics.

[Masahiro9891]

WOW, I have not heard this song in at least five years or more (from Tom and Jerry of course); all of a sudden while watching Seinfeld today it popped into my head. The mind is a strange thing lol. 

[yukayuka2000]

From Tom and Jerry

Incidentally he is a Japanese.

[ya0sef]

i first heard this in a tom and jerry episode

[yougoberry]

I listened to the original and it did not sound like this one that you posted,. the one that u posted sounds more modern. Im not the only that noticed this, hence others here have commented and asked the same question..

[yougoberry]

Can anyone tell what version of the song this is? Other's have asked asked and I dont see an answer posted! It's not the original !

[mangeldeth74]

@yougoberry Do not understand the question, but I commented that the original version of Louis Jordan and Tom & Jerry's used in the chapter The Solid Serenade.

[mangeldeth74]

@yougoberry Ok I understand, I commented that this version I found while searching the web and if they are right is different from other versions of this great song.

[MarcBrewer]

@yougoberry This is from the 1956 Mercury sessions produced by Quincy Jones - note the echo and more prominent guitar.

[mangeldeth74]

@MarcBrewer Thanks for the info about this great version.

[RRRicard0]

[dreamcaster5]

[TREACHERY09]

I can respect this music because it came from the heart.And it symbolizes the time period when black americans were going through the most,but still able to produce heart warming soul music............

[Querencias7]

O U T S T A N D I N G ! Thank you so much for uploading this excellent song by the great Louis Jordan. Very nice job with the series of images too! Very nice tune, as fine as it is nostalgic.

[jojona74lac]

thank ya

[weatherallc05]

soothing and just soo calm. back in the days when it was hard as fuck to compose music

[piticot004]

Tom(from Tom&Jerry) sings more better this song

[rankingtrevor]

This is defiantly NOT the original version that Louis recorded in the 1940s. This is more jazzy and uses no backing vocal support. What year was this version recorded, anyone?

[ChristopherSnells]

wgo made this song louis jordan, buster brown who?

[diesel5411]

this is a really great song even on tom and jerry

[ChristopherSnells]

Tom and Jerry LOL

[fakewalka]

[UnIndio]

My daughter, SIL & 2 Granddaughters relocated to India last year, leaving me their 2 dogs to care for. One of them is named "Izzie", several weeks ago I was singing this song as I came into the room and she thought that I was singing to her and came over & started loving on me by licking my hands while wagging her tail! LOL!!! I still laugh thinking about that!

[mangeldeth74]

@UnIndio Great.

[Wolf251982]

[elmesmoum]

i was 10! today i'm 31! so...........

[CosmikDebrisFZ]

@elmesmoum yep, me too but i can only wish i was 31, lol...

[4Zoot]

@elmesmoum I prefer the version on Tom and Jerry, it was the first time I'd hear Tom verbalise anything. What a fantastic voice he has!

[M0N3t7]

@4Zoot Yea...the older cartoons had the classic tunes playing the background. I used to love the classical/opera music they played in Bugs Bunny too. Amazing, I'm waiting for them to do that do the cartoons of today. :-)

[TheBluesIsMyLife]

Great! *:))

[TimeLord9811]

I first heard this on spaced great show love the song.
