Louis Jordan ---Blue Lite Boogie



This is rock and roll, rearing it's loud, impolite head in an early iteration. The beat is getting more emphasis, and the guitar is moving forward, squeezing out the horns. A lot of this was due to advances in instrument amplification (the guitars) and sound recording (the overall feel). This is 1950! Baby steps, but a strong indication of things to come. 

I love this song by Frankie Lee Sims, but this is a swell version from Louis Jordan and the fellows.
