This song was actually a tribute to Herb Jeffries, the first black singing cowboy of the silver screen, who was known as The Bronze Buckaroo. Jeffries was a mixed race entertainer, who made four b cowboy movies for black audiences between 1937-1939. Because of segregation few whites ever saw these movies which portrayed blacks as the hero instead of the subservient comic relief, which white segregated movie goers preferred at the time. So when Ella Mae Morris’s Cow Cow Boogies hit it big on radio, whites never knew that she was singing about Herb Jeffries, but blacks knew better. The song became a hit on not only Pop but RB radio, long before Ella Fitzgerald and the Ink Spots released their version. Ella Mae Version was so much better, I think, than Ella Fitzgerald’s, even though the song was given to her to record first.

Wow, thank you for that history. I didn't know that. I like Ella Mae's version too, of all that I listened to, including Ella and the Ink Spots, though many were still very good. I can't help but think Ella Mae, being from TX, sort of had the inside track on a cowboy song like this.

I met Benny Carter in a dentist's waiting room. He was 98 years old. He was there with his wife. I recognized him. "I know you! You wrote the "Cow Cow Boogie"" I exclaimed. His wife busted out laughing. Probably the last thing he wanted to be remembered for, but he was very nice and told me all about writing it. Although its credited to Raye, De Paul, and Carter, he said it's really just his song.

The song writing team of Don Raye and Gene de Paul composed several songs, not just one. Benny Carter was a alto saxophone player, a musician, who had a partial melody in mind, but only partial. He did not compose the lyrics or complete the melody. Without Don Raye and Gene de Paul, "Cow Cow Boogie", would never have existed. Besides this, you should know that Benny Carter died at 95 years old, in 2003. Who you met at 98 years old, in a dentist office, is unknown.

@@jazmaan - Sorry, "dude", I've worked in assisted living facilities and most 98 year old couples are not sitting at dentist offices; ignoring the fact that Carter died at 95. In your initial comment, it sounded as if Don Raye and Gene de Paul were being removed from their huge involvement with the song, "Cow Cow Boogie", or that their "integrities were being impugned". They didn't lie about writing this song, they didn't need to; they absolutely deserved song composer credit. I won't be "crawling under a rock" any time soon either.

This is from the movie "Reveille with Beverly" (1943) A wildly, wonderfully entertaining movie from WWII. Ann Miller becomes a morning disc jockey for soldiers. "Reveille with Beverly" also has Bob Crosby and his Bobcats performing "Big Noise from Winnetka", Duke Ellington Orchestra performing "Take the A Train" on a moving train, Count Basie Orchestra doing "One O'clock Jump", the Mills Brothers singing a wonderfully loose version of "Sweet Lucy Brown" and even Frank Sinatra. ""Reveille with Beverly" - you must see this movie!!

1942 , July 25 Capitol Records achieved their first #1 hit with a song called "Cow Cow Boogie" by 17-year-old Ella Mae Morse, accompanied by Freddie Slack And His Orchestra. Although Ella Mae's follow-up recordings sold fairly well, she never obtained a huge following, but continued to make records until 1957.

@@drivinsouth651 what a great surprise ! Always surprised when people are still keeping one eye on their comments and responding, so thanks. Somehow I started out with Leadbelly, when i first started collecting records, but revisited his song about the Titanic when the Titan mini sub with 5 lives was lost last year. You may know Jamie Brocket did a famous version of 'Titanic'. I finally got that most poor people, prob especially black folk, really did not care too much about a bunch of rich folk whose luxury ocean liner sank. I came up in a whitebread community (only black was exchange student from Uganda) so it has been a long journey to appreciate what racism has done to America...i see us all as one race, but the real enemy is seeing ourselves as entitled or privileged, and better than another group.

Back about 30 years ago, the company I worked for set aside time for "diversity" classes. The one I went to was conducted by two Black men. After class I was chatting with one of them, and he told me that when he was a boy, he loved "cowboy" movies, but it bothered him that there were no Black singing cowboys. I told him about Herb Jeffries, whom I remembered from the 1940s as a band vocalist, but who (I learned many years later) starred in a number of low-budget Westerns with titles like "The Bronze Buckaroo". I said, "You probably won't find them at the local video rental shop, and you might have to go to Hollywood or some other place where 'special interest' videos are found, but they're probably available."

If you listen to Ella Fitzgerald's recording, Fitzgerald has more texture in her voice. But Ella Mae Morse says she learned the song by listening to and imitating Fitzgerald's pre-recording for the movie it was written for. (A recording that seems to no longer exist, though you can hear Fitzgerald singing it in a recording she made with the Ink Spots two years later.) Morse is only 18 here. At the start of your career you imitate your idols. And she had the good taste to imitate the best.

Tiny Bradshaw borrowed the lyrics from Cow Cow Boogie to write Train Kept a-Rollin. This was subsequently covered by the Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith. Crazy!

What you are watching is the conception in 1942 of the formula for what will be known as rock and roll. A crossover of Boogie Woogie and Hillbilly music in 1945 which further transforms itself into Bill Haley's famous Cowboy Jive (Western and R&B) as Bill Haley & his Saddlemen, finally to be called Rock and Roll as Bill Haley and his Comets. That is about one decade from this recording in which Ella May Morse predicts the musical crossover in the lyrics of the song itself 1:06. Weird, just saying.

@@andreibodea6064 Could be wrong, the song may be referring to the established Western Swing from the 30s, but then again, the boogie woogie sound did not emerge in pop music until 1941. It's debatable.
