Louis Jordan Let The Good Times Roll

[@dwightlove3704]

This man is arguably the most influential musician produced on American soil he had his fingers in all forms of music we hear today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dwightlove3704]

+Gf Black This man is my idol not only was he responsible for the creation of Rock music he was a pioneer for a style of music that does not get the credit it richly deserves say hello to JUMP BLUES it was the forerunner of all styles of music with the exception of Jazz music.Plenty of music legends owe their careers to this forgotten icon!!!!!i

One of the earliest progenitors of Jump Blues in the mid forties to the early fifties a precursor to Rhythm and Blues a huge influence on James Brown, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and BB King among many others.❤️

[@glory777]

One of the Godfather's of Rock n' Roll, IMO.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

glory777 Speed blues up, you got a hit rock n roll record. Double the tempo. And make it harder/louder on drums. Call it "blues on a lot of cocaine."

[@ralphroe5625]

Amazing from the comments how many people know this song primarily through it's brief use in The Blues Brothers film. Ironically, among all the great music in that film, this song, used in such a quiet subtle moment, is my favorite in the entire film.

[@boazshushan2931]

I played this song at an open mic on sunday with the band. I csme here to see how my trumpet joins in. I learned from this video that most time when the singer stops, the trumpet plays for a couple of measures. Im guessing about 8 quarter notes. Ill be ready the next time we play this song.

[@timacrow]

Louis Jordan is the King!

[@h8hax]

LOL thumbs up if you looked for this song after playing mafia2 hearing it on the radio :P empire classic

[@IcechickenSr]

Thank god for BB king! He's responsable for turning me on to mr.jordan about 10 min ago after watching one of his video's. Every Louis Jordan tune I listen to I just sink back into simpler times. I find I start picking up my guitar and trying to play along to Mr.Jordan's ato and interpret it with my guiutar like BB. does. What a great player I'm so glad I found this music! I'll never let it die. Cheers, IC

Important Music history. Thanx for posting. What movie is this from?

[@hebneh]

I see other people remember this song from the first Blues Brothers film. It was played (ironically) when Jake and Elwood had just reunited at the nasty, dismal apartment of one of them; the setting was nothing like "good times". And then Carrie Fisher pulls up outside and fires a shoulder-held rocket launcher and blows up the entire building. The Brothers just climb out of the debris, dust themselves off, and go off on their adventures.

[@GraceWilliford-gw8kr]

Love it my uncle use to coming home drunk ❤😮

[@lolo9999ization]

I agree. No one of modern generation would know songs like this, if it wasn't at games like Mafia or L.A.Noire.

[@Firebrand55]

I saw the Blues Brothers the other day for the first time. When i heard this song, i started singing outloud along to the song. When it was done my parents just stared at me for a few minutes without saying anything. Then my dad said: ''Son, where have you learned to get such a good taste in music?''

True. I think it's wonderful that video games are introducing people to culture that they missed and would therefore not know about otherwise.

[@Alxx2]

To quote GTA Vice city Wave 103 “were revolutionizing music, well actually were repackaging it for a new generation” if it wasn’t for that sort of outlet I wouldn’t know of some of the great music out there. For example if it wasn’t for my favorite film, The Blue Brothers, dare I say I probably wouldn’t know of Louis Jordan. With the shit on radio now days, how else can we keep all this alive?
