Benny Goodman Trio - Body and Soul download song

How cool it would be to get everyone commenting here together for an evening, for a change... ;-)

"The Rivers of London" brought me here.

The best Benny Goodman period. Just absolutely dreamy.... Thank's for this post. .

The memories make me cry. I loved my Dad.

"Radio Days" brought me here.

take your sweetie & dance to this in your living room, just the two of you & will have a natural high that is unequalled anywhere else.

Thanks, JM, for the history lesson...

I've been watching Ken Burns' Jazz, and this song is the one from the series that just keeps popping into my mind. Outstanding composition.

"There I am in my Masked Avenger hat & goggles which I got off my friend in a trade"

I'm still living in the Forties on Music.  Seen most of them in theaters or at Dances.

Glorious music, fantastic master musicians taking me back to my teen days in the early 40's. WOW!

One detail about this record that some people miss: That beautiful final sigh from Goodman's clarinet!

what a great rendition , this version is the only one that is great! whether or not you are a Benny G fan or not give the man credit he knew how to showcase great talent

I can't believe it. It's hard to conceive it, that anyone would disagree that this is a fabulous version of a wonderful tune. Thank you for sharing and thanks to sessnazx for sending.

I found this from watching American Horror Story Hotel

I never tier of the music of the 20's 30's and 40's...it just relaxes me so... because it was my parents era I'm guessing.

teddy Wilson will always reign supreme of all jazz pianists in my book Donny Richard try to listen to Teddy Wilson with Lester Young  playing Body and Soul. An amazing piano solo

We learned the song by ear from this 78 rpm record way back when.

Thanks to American Horror story I can't hear this song without being slightly unnerved. Not that I hear it often, anyway.
