[Hilton9944]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've been to Columbia Heights, loved the neighborhood... And cpl yrs. ago I started following baseball and picked Brooklyn Dodgers as my team. Greetings from Brazil.

I actually like this version, it's true to the original and the new lyrics are a solid testament to what Jackie Robinson meant to baseball and culture as a whole

[thumbolina90]

[GoodSmellingStink]

wow that sounded great. I was curious, what mic is on the lead vocals?

[uccvideo2]

I used an Audio Technica 4047 large diaphragm FET mic. One of my favorites. Glad you enjoyed the song!

[GoodSmellingStink]

cool. Ive never heard a pro level Audio technica mic I didn't like.

[scorpion112]

oh, cool thanks for the upload im doing a project and need stuff like this, really interesting , i didnt know he had his own song, nice beat to it as well

[damanwithdacam]

good verse u wrote. i like it

[folkdad]

Because I produced this a part of a recording project I did called Go Get Your Voice - Songs of Freedom from the Olden Days. I have the rights to record my version of the song, but not to post someone else's. I also wrote a new verse that ties the song into the freedom civil rights movement. The original you can buy on iTunes.

[NejiBK]

why not play the other version of the song

the"black" version(im not racist but i think it fits better)

[kingmonsterkiller198]

the original is jackie's game footage

I'm trying to find Buddy Johnson's hit "Go Upside Your Head with his sister Ella. It was my dad's favorite.

Want to hear it, hear it goes!

"There's no do right in you, I should have left you long ago,..................

That's why I gotta go upside your head,

Cuz I can't get no lovin' unless I

Go upside your head!

[badaboom155]

thanks for putting this on!

[folkdad]

Buddy Johnson had the first recording. Basie had the hit. Natalie Cole did a more recent version.

Thanks for watching

I believe the Count Basie/Taps Miller version was the original one.
