"Louis Jordan was one of the chief architects and prime progenitors of the R&B idiom..."
As he said, he "made the blues jump"...


originally available only on this 45rpm
recorded 1957 at Mercury Sound Studio,
New York City.

it knocks me out how the lyrics beat
the musical breaks of this song :
"everybody was mellow ,and feeling fine
...then in walked Ella ,with a worried mind : you better Stop that Music ,Stop the Band ! ' cause somebody in here's got my man."
