The Manhattan Transfer - On The Sunny Side Of The Street

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sunny_Side_of_the_Street

"On the Sunny Side of the Street" (1930) is a song with music composed by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, which was introduced in the Broadway musical Lew Leslie's International Revue, starring Harry Richman and Gertrude Lawrence. Having become a jazz standard, it was played (usually as an instrumental) by such greats as Ted Lewis, Dave Brubeck, Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Erroll Garner, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Tatum, James Booker, Count Basie and Lester Young.[1] Duke Ellington's orchestra featuring Ivie Anderson recorded a live performance at the Cotton Club, April 24, 1938. Fats Waller and His Rhythm performed the song live with Louis Armstrong and Jack Teagarden in a radio broadcast from Martin Block’s Make Believe Ballroom in October 1938. The version is included on the 1981 Smithsonian Folkways album Striding in Dixieland (FW02816). Frankie Laine had a hit with his recording and the song also was recorded by other leading vocalists, including Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Doris Day, Keely Smith, Nat King Cole, Jo Stafford, and Frank Sinatra. Arguably the best known arrangement is found in the 1945 record by Tommy Dorsey and the Sentimentalists.

ROCKUMENTARY: SEPTEMBER 6, 1967

I was about to begin my second year at a small engineering college in Philadelphia.

So what were you up to?

Cue the Rockumentary theme!

San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”

This band was Motown’s Funk Brothers backed with pickup musicians from the Detroit Symphony.

#10 – Eric Burdon & the Animals: “San Franciscan Nights”

This is a period piece from the Summer of Love when San Francisco and its Haight-Ashbury neighborhood was Ground Zero for hippie revels. I envied them and resented them at the same time. They were hogging all the sex, and I’ve never forgiven them for that.

Last year I made contact with a hippie woman I had known in college – something Canteen DJ’s know about – and she spent ten days with me. She hadn’t changed and was just as idealistic and as impractical as ever. Nothing happened between us.

At least in ROTC, our slogan was, “Make love and war.”

#9 – Jay & the Techniques: “Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie”

This was an interracial band from Allentown, PA. They had two hits, and this was the first.

#8 – The Doors: “Light My Fire”

There is little I can add to a story that everybody knows. Books, a PBS documentary and a movie have been dedicated to the Lizard King. This is a fusion of rock and jazz from one of those groups that comes along only once in a lifetime.

This is the long version, which was butchered by the label for AM air play. You don’t cut a Picasso to fit the frame! Ray Manzarek’s keyboard work is nothing less than stellar.
