A dance permormance

1. It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
A composition by Duke Ellington (1931)

What good is music,
what good is melody,
if it aint possessing something sweet.

It aint the music,
it aint the melody,
theres something else that makes that tune complete.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing,
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah

It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing,
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah

Makes no difference if its sweet or hard,
you just give that rhythm everything you got.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing,
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah

Makes no difference if its sweet or hard,
you just give that rhythm everything you got.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing,
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

2. 'The Color Purple' soundtrack (1985)
Sister, you've been on my mind
Sister, we're two of a kind
So Sister, I'm keeping my eyes on you

I betcha think I don't know nothin'
But singin' the blues
Oh Sister, have I got news for you
I'm somethin'
I hope you think that you're somethin' too

Scufflin' I been up that lonesome road
And I seen a lot of suns goin' down
Oh, but trust me
No low life's gonna run me around
So let me tell you somethin'

Sister Remember your name
No twister, gonna steal your stuff away
My sister, sho' ain't got a whole lot of time
So shake your shimmy, Sister
'Cause honey this shug is feelin' fine

[fraulotte]

miss the 80ies, her singing was different back than, very straight. mind, that she was in her mid 20ies. star quality

[mh513]

As a singer,she's OK. As a tap dancer, I don't think much of it.

[Rmasai]

It's like Pat Boone remaking Little Richard music, the soul essence was takling out.
