[gangerollo]

Whoooo...LaVern Baker and Ruth Brown. They don't come better. I heard somewhere that she went to Thailand of all countries in the 80's. Is she still alive?

[medialacer]

March 10, 1997: LaVern Baker died in New York, NY.

[gangerollo]

Ahh...sorry to hear that she passed away 8 yrs ago. R.I.P

[flakeater]

These are the Real Kings and Queens of Rock n Roll.

[edboswell]

FACT: LaVern Baker and Big Joe Turner created ATLANTIC RECORDS thanks to their hits, which they were paid NOTHING for, just the $500 to record. This lady is special.

[trolleybus1962]

I think that Ruth Brown had something to do with creating Atlantic Records. It was due to her hits that Atlantic Records used to be known as 'the house that Ruth built'.

[htuomnom]

have fun kids it goes by fast

[hhrtwo]

So true...I'm 67 now and I remember danceing to this at the sock hops in 1957...Thanks for the memories!!

We're crossing the finish line...sob

[NorthernsoulDJ]

[elvischevy]

the queen of rocknroll

[Imtherejustlook]

Even though its easy to tell she is lip synching, she still expresses visualy that energy you get when you play that song or the original Jim Dandy for the first time and the second time and on and on.

[darkebony]

I remeber this song and those white kids arent doing anything with it .I went to a party with my sister and they wore the house out when that song played in the 50s.

[elvischevy]

top class rockroll singer / more more

[MinkStoler]

I THOUGHT SHE WAS A MAN!! LOL

[BattleAngel]

one of the leading ladies of rock n roll. love her.

[dariusmosley]

i love her music

[EyeLikeTooWatch]

This is LaVern's soundalike follow-up "Jim Dandy Got Married." According to Marv Goldberg, ""Jim Dandy" was such a big hit, that Lincoln Chase was commissioned to do a follow-up. Lavern's next release was 'Jim Dandy Got Married,' which expresses the theme that it's easier to rescue women than to be married to them. This made it to the (US) R&B Top Ten, but climbed no higher than #76 on the (US) Pop charts."

Tweedle Dee is my favorite Lavern Baker song

Does anyone have the video for it?

[DCMemories]

Do a YouTube search for the video titled "Dr Jive's RnB Show" and you'll find a performance of Tweedlee Dee by LaVern as well as some other amazing '50s jive acts, including Gator Tail Jackson. I can't believe he appeared on coast-to-coast national television on a Sunday night. CRAZY, MAN, CRAZY!

[Malignaggi1]

RIP Lavern.
