Goody, Goody! - Helen Ward & Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, 1936

[Starthur41]

Hooray & Hallelujah! You had it coming to ya! ;-)

[madebyJake12]

there is a german song of this to. on a 1936 telefunken record.

[FriendlyGrizzly]

This is one of those songs I have heard well over 500 times and I still enjoy it. That little drum riff at the very end is a great little "extra" to a great arrangement.

I'm only 21 years old, but heck...I love swing and jazz music so much! I really wish I lived in another era...Thanks for sharing this gorgeous song with us!

[werobanks]

oooooooo yeahhhhh

[rudiherold84]

Good song but favorite version is by Teddy Stauffer

[1930RedRed]

@rudiherold84 Thanks for letting me know, I'll have to try and find it :)

[B17EFlyingFortress]

This is way better than the German WW2 propaganda edition by Charlie and his Orchestra...

[GamingJesters]

@B17EFlyingFortress Which is still pretty good for a German band, my fav by them is Gene Autry's "South Of Border".

[SwingBandHeaven]

Excellent version of this song. In fact I don't think i've heard better :)

[honeybee7700]

GOODY GOODY! :D

[UncleMikeNJ]

I only knew the Frankie Lymon version, with that wall of brass on it that was more big band than the rock and roll he usually did. But Benny did some great records and was a trailblazer when that was a very risky thing, and deserves a lot of credit for it.

Recorded in Chicago on January 24, 1936.

[saxondog2001]

This really rocks! Totally hot!

[Mr1920s]

This was the first "big band" song I ever liked. I got it when I was 7 yrs old and just fell in love with it. Brings back grand memories.. Thanks!

[dcpigpen]

heard this on the radio today. they just don't/can't make music like this anymore. :(

[4429mimi]

Just you wait -I'm gonna make all that music again!!!!

[helluvagun]

True!

[sessnazx]

Thank you Helen and Benny, Bless You,

How about 'You can't pull the wool over my eyes'

Thanks for the memories, Brings a tear to my eye.

Kind Regards ...Mike

Great! I've loved this for decades!

[lemurs366]

[1930RedRed]

[4429mimi]

How about MimiSings version???

[SheridanJazz]

@lemurs366 You have great taste, my friend--it sure us mine!

[vinylsingleman]

Thanks! Was waiting for someone to post this (also "Glory Of Love") on YouTube.

[1930RedRed]

I would love to hear "Glory of Love" by her. It was the first time I've heard her voice and I would love to find more songs too!
