wasn't this the last song on WBLS when one of the DJ's ended his show, back in the day?

That was absolutely horrible. Way to destroy one of my favorite songs

In the 50s and 60s tons of news media said Rock and Roll and Jazz would never last, but I keep being happy finding these high spirited and humanistic musical forms, all-American forms, are still alive and well worldwide. The Greeks and Romans left some buildings, literature, and models of government, the English left us Shakespeare, Europe, enterprise and classical music, but the US Empire has given the world industry, science, Country, Blues, Jazz and R and R music..

@farawayeyes5 Okay I'm wrong about a lot, but I did hear Quincy Jones say on a radio interview in the mid 1970s that the reason he started playing jazz trumpet was because he heard the music of Charlie Parker. To learn to improvise jazz, Nelson Riddle told me personally to take lessons, or at least memorize every solo Bird ever played. Quincy of course followed Riddle, as Frank Sinatra's arranger.

@pvelectric It was actually James Moody's solo. Eddie Jefferson lyricized it. King Pleasure popularized it.

James Moody wrote the words to this music that first was an improvised solo performed and recorded by Charlie "Bird" Parker. First sung by King Pleasure as far as I know, who tips his hat to Moody for the lyrics by ending the song with, "James Moody you can blow now if you want to, we're through."
Bird's original is available still on Savoy label I think.
