Now, Louis Jordan is going to school you on the difference between now and then, between yesterday and today, between the modern and the antiquated.

Even back in the 1940's, this ingenious musician, lyricist and performer, Louis Jordan, had it right. To this day, no one still could disagree — Today You Gotta have a Beat!

"People today is full of rhythm, it's in their head or either in their feet. So you better wake-up and get with them, 'cause today you gotta have a beat."

Too right, too right.
