My apologies; I just lectured on the swing era in my History of Jazz class last Tuesday night, and Louis Jordan, known as “Ling of the Jukebox,” was a crossover between swing and boogie-woogie who was popular during the (WWII) war years. It was the name that caught my eye.

I love Louis Jordan's music. Good lyrics, too, e.g.: "Is you is or is you ain't my baby?"
His was transitional, between the Big Band and Rock eras. Joe Jackson covered a lot Jordan's tunes.
