Hoagy Carmichael - Rockin` Chair (1956)

Hoagy wrote this little masterwork in 1932 for singer Mildred Bailey. Now the master sings it by himself! It`s recorded at 9-9-1956 with The Pacific Jazzmen...enjoy!!

I'm embarrassed that I didn't know HC had written this... The more I learn about this hugely-talented fellow, the more impressed I am by him.

Recorded 7 weeks before my birth! What an amazing composer & contributor to American culture! Thanks for posting this great rendition by Hoagy ! ! !

I'm building an ever-expanding music history channel with over 500 playlists so far. This was just added to my 1956 playlist. My lists feature most genres & cover the globe. 111 lists let you hear the music of any year since 1900 like you've stepped back in time.
