My father was a big fan of Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five, and for good reason. These guys could rock.
This one's my fave:

Thanks Fitz! I DO love Louis Jordan!
He was one of the most popular and outstanding bandleaders of his day. He also collaborated with Louis Armstrong.
I've enjoyed listening to these Mr Anchovy - thanks again.
Interestingly he was born on the same day of the same year as my maternal grandfather.
Holy Cow! I had no idea that there were videos of Louis Jordan on Youtube. Oh Yeah!
