Saw my old-man "swing-dance" to this once with Mom at a wedding reception, when i was real young.The old-man flung Mom six-feet in the air, caught her, brought her down, threw her between his legs, then spun her around, and niether missed a beat. My godfather said to me then, "Man! Hank & Rose can still cut a 'MEAN SLICE' 'o rug!" That was 61 years ago.

There's some interesting things about this track. One is the length. It was very rare to record anything this long. Originally on a 78 rpm platter back then, you could only get about 4 minutes in a side. It was released as a double sided single, something that just wasn't done. It ended up this length because Krupa kept playing. That longer drum part at about half way, expected to be the end but he kept playing and so Benny and company did too. The whole second half basically is ad-lib.

[@genebigs1749]

I never knew that! Gene Krupa was incredible.

[@Iamyolomonkey-ed2gh]

That’s really cool!

[@inkoinfinity2]

So you're telling me one of the greatest musical performances ever was half ad libbed? That's incredible!

I met Butch Trucks' father, Derrick Trucks' grandfather, before an Allman Bros show at the Beacon Theater in NYC. I asked him if he liked the Allman Brothers band when they first started playing. He looked right in my eyes and said, "I like Benny Goodman." 😊

[@wrrlykam]

My wife’s uncle Wilf had this very piece played at his funeral last week, he loved Benny Goodman. The poor vicar obviously didn’t know how long it would last and wasn’t familiar with it. At every point where it went a bit quiet she thought it was finishing she start to rise but she had to sit back down as the tempo kicked back in. Wilf was always the joker and I wonder if his choice was Wilf’s last prank.

[@singtweetypie]

Sounds like it was! What a great memory for the family. I am certain everyone had a chuckle. I am sure the vicar knew this song - just didn't know it was going to be the extended version that was played! Uncle Wilf sounds like he was a cool cat!

In nearly every decade, there's one artist who stands out from the crowd, who's basically the Jimi Hendrix of his (or her) generation, taking music to a place it's never been before. In the 1940s, that guy was Benny Goodman (honorable mention to Art Tatum).

I'll never forget my visit to New Year City years ago. I was riding the subway and thoroughly enjoying some music on my headphones. I saw that an older man was smiling at me, so I handed him my headphones. He put them on, and he was thrilled to hear Benny Goodman! He said, "Beautiful!" He thanked me when he got off at his stop.

This legendary song encompasses a lot of musical genres. The Jazz and Big Band elements are there and with that upbeat tempo and rhythm, Rock music was obviously influenced. With Harry James, Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman all on this recording, it's a mix of musical superstars.

At my first Grateful Dead show in 1978, the band was jamming, the people on the floor had pushed forward to the crowd the stage, everybody was listening, everybody was grooving, and I thought: "this is what it was like for my parents when they went to see the big bands". And Benny was the best.

This is the theme song of America's greatest achievement. The nearly simultaneous victory over The Third Reich of Germany and The Empire of Japan. (two separate wars that were won in what we call WW2) That victory granted us our current way-of-life. Benny G.and Louis Prima's "SING SING SING" embodies the "can do" spirit of our American ancestors at home and abroad who worked in unison for total victory. This song signals the world that the Yanks will take care of it. It is a song of competence, hard work, confidence and success. America got the impossible job done.
