Tommy Dorsey - Boogie Woogie download song

Awesome music. I grew up with this. My parents grew up during the big ban time and passed it on to me and I have passed it on to my 3 20 something children children.

This song instantly invokes the WWII era and its Big Band sound. Men were dying abroad and this music kept the attitude of soldiers and moms and wives upbeat. I know it keeps my attitude upbeat!

This is the song associated with the Memphis Belle, a B17. The nose art painted on it was done by my Great Uncle Tony Starcer. He also did about 130 other pieces of nose art as well as art on countless jackets for crew members.

"Don't touch that dial, going back in style. Before the 50s and 70s term boogie-woogie. back in the 40s they were doing the boogie-woogie swinging the Lily or gettin silly or playing it with Willie. ;)

Do I hear a precursor of rock 'n roll somewhere in this recording?

I grew up in Benld, IL, a town of 1,900, but with the Coliseum Ballroom and its 10,000 square feet of dance floor. Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Guy Lombardo, and other big bands would play there on Saturday night when I was in high school. Those were the great old days.

I'm from Shenandoah, PA...home of the Dorsey Brothers! I walk past his grave almost daily

That's a whole lot of talent in one place.  Thanks

I am ww2 veteran and the big band music is best ever, because of great musicans. I call it up when I want to listen to great music.

this is my Dad's era of music & as I passed 60 I began to love it's charm & simplicity more & more, as much as my 'own' Hippie 60's era music, I now DJ (again) with eclectic mixes including Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Brenda Lee & Billy Fury up to Marley & Hendrix :-)

This Boogie Woogie by Tommy Dorsey was my very favorite Boogie...during the 40's...as a teenager! I have requested that this song by Dorsey be played at my funeral! I was a boogie woogie fan as most all teenagers were! I could whistle this song...what a great time the 40's were in spite of World War 2...I am now in my 80's and appreciate music even more....

The music of this era shines. It makes a person love and laugh.

Was my favorite also as a young girl of 16 and now I can still  enjoy it and think of my life and  my parents.at that time, I listen to it very often, I am now 78 and love all the music even more thanks to the pc and you tube..

when I heard for the first time the boogie woogie was in 1945 in Italy with the Americans. I was a kid, but I liked it a lot. In the 50's I always danced with the girls. Now that I am 77 I still love this beautiful music always moves me. Just like you dear friend.

This is definitely T.D. It sold over 4 million copies

Dean Kinkaide wrote this arrangement on the band bus. They don't make arrangers like that any more.

I am obsessed with this style of music

Five thumbs up. Great tune...and an interesting slide show to accompany it.
