The Mills Brothers - Get A Job (45 version with lead vocal)
Loading...
Uploaded by TopshelfTom on Apr 1, 2009
The original 45 rpm version....seems that when they were pulling tapes to put the song out on cd in stereo, they pulled one that was missing the lead vocals entirely, and that has ended up being the norm for cd reissues of the song. I do not own this 45, but i felt the track was rare enough that somebody should post it, as it originally was. You can hear songs like this one every night of the week on www.topshelfoldies.com!

By 1958, the Mills Brothers by the teenage audience was seen as "square", so they had to get on the doo-wop bandwagon as an attempt to say current. They did come back with "Cab Driver" in 1968 to reach a somewhat younger audience. This was a common practice by the "clean cuts" to cover black artists songs in the '50s.

@redthunderhammer your review loses credibility for using 'death' in place of 'deaf'

Whoa!!!!!!! This is the most amazing record I've ever heard!!! Is this THE Mills Bros, of Paper Moon and Society of Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Singin' in America...(long may it live) fame???
There vocals are of course TIGHT! Exquisite voices in any medium!
Is that banjo?
btw...I got to see the orig. Sils do this in Philly. It was an emotional experience! They were very elderly.
Thanks!!!!! Amazing disc!
