Tampa Red & Georgia Tom - Vocalion Records 78 It's Tight Like That

[leesterg]

This is way too cool! A little trivia: Georgia Tom aka the late, great Thomas A. Dorsey, often referred to as the "Father of Black Gospel Music." This is Smithsonian, great post!

Very good.

Sorry but we just CRINGE when we hear those old steel needles

grinding up a rare vintage 78 record.

They've destroyed more antique records than anything else but time.

This was the song that Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five were answering in their classic 1928 stomper, "Tight Like This."

[GreenLimePaint]

Ya, I thought that too. It seems not only styles of clothing go in cycles.
