Thanks so much for this. Morse and Slack, the perfect music duo, gigantic fun!

I second that emotion! This is boogie woogie at it's best! Poor Freddie must have suffered very bad health problems towards the end of his life; poor fellow was only 55 when he died! What a tragedy for the musical world! :(

Phew Brilliant,thx Pappy & You Tube
Freddie Slack was probably the best of the white boogie woogie pianists, in my opinion. This version is a bit uptempo from the original and in a higher key, but it's wonderful - as is Ella's singing. Thanks for posting the clip!

Ella Mae looked hotter than a murder weapon when she recorded the original version, and she was only about 30 when she reprised it with Mr. Slack. Why did they defuse her sexuality with the June Cleaveresque makeover.
