LaVern Baker - Jim Dandy - Tra La La.m4v

LaVern Baker doing "Jim Dandy" backed by "Tra La La," a 1955 Atlantic Records release. Spelled Laverne for some odd reason on this 78, "Jim Dandy" was one of Lavern Baker's biggest hits and without any question the first and best version of this classic R&B/Rock tune.

LAVERN BAKER DIED IN 1997 R.I.P.

Tra-La-La was meant as the A-side, as a follow up to Tweedely Dee. Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler thought a similar sounding record would get more plays. Back then, Dj's got to actually play both sides if they wanted, and response to Jim Dandy was so overwhelming it became the big hit!

Go LaVerne! Go LaVerne!
