Thanks for doing my request, Teez. May be only about six of us watch it but this music and these musicians deserve to not die off into the sunset. Thanks again.....BTW the Whitney Houston video isn't mine, unless I screwed up sending a link. Doesn't matter....I'm sure I'll enjoy it when it pops up. She was fantastic.

Couldn't agree more, this music is part of a legacy worth preserving. It's part of the reason I dove into Brian Setzer' Dirty Boogie album. Swing is King 😉

You know, I am a baby boomer and I always was amazed at Gene Krupa's drum riffs and I thank you for playing this video when he was older I had never saw him at the "end of his career" before. And you know what, he had it! Gene! Never changed his style. He still had it! Bravo

Sing Sing Sing became popular in the 1930's. In 1935 Gene Krupa with the Benny Goodman Band played at Carnegie Hall with this extended cover version of Sing, Sing, Sing. Sing Sing Sing was first made popular with Louis Prima and his band with a lyrical version along with instruments. This was the age of "Swing Music" played by big bands. You have to see people of the thirties and forties dance! They knew how to cut a rug! Great Music.

Actually, the exact date of the Carnegie Hall concert with Benny Goodman's band including Gene Krupa and Lionel Hampton was January 16, 1938. It was one of the first racially integrated concerts in front of paying customers and it was also a first to listen to swing music instead of just dancing to it. The performance of Sing Sing Sing took 12 minutes and 30 seconds!

This version is great; featuring two of my all-time favorite swing musicians: the unstoppable fireball Gene Krupa and the inimitable vibes of Lionel Hampton.

Gene Krupa was the first drum superstar, playing with the Benny Goodman Orchestra. He is largely responsible for the makeup of the modern drum kit, asking the drum manufacturers for toms with tunable heads, large floor toms, and larger ride and crash cymbals.

You are not alone, Bob! 😊I’ve got Sing Sing Sing on a Glen Miller Orchestra CD!! Love the big band sound; of the 40’s; the drums are fantastic on this song, along with the horns! Uh oh, I think I need to request some Dike Ellington “Take The A Train” and some Andrew Sisters! Love all the different genres and eras showing up on your channel! ❤️

I adore Gene Krupa. I grew up with “Big Band” music. In the 1930s my Dad was a bandleader (my parents were older when they adopted me). He played piano, and the band played/toured mostly the Eastern US. I had the pleasure of seeing Mr Hampton do his vibraphone thing. He was amazing. Count Basie, another piano player, played at my high school and I got to shake his hand. Harry James, a trumpet player, also played at my high school, and I met him and got his autograph. There’s a video on here that’s a movie clip of Benny Goodman’s band playing this, and it’s got Gene Krupa and Harry James playing. I’ve loved this since I was a kid. Whenever I watch Gene Krupa I always think of Dave Grohl since they both chewed gum almost manically when they drummed. Ha. I love this so much. 💜

I lived in Lionel Hampton's building in the city. He accidentally set his apartment on fire, and got out with his companions, but his floor was sort of destroyed. I was five floors above the fire, and couldn't get downstairs with my father who was in a wheelchair. We had to stay in the apartment, which luckily was sort of far from the fire? That was quite the afternoon, I'll tell ya. I was on the news by phone, but they got my information all wrong, saying I was a 33 year old in a wheelchair (wrong age, wrong person) etc.. People in the hallway were screaming like you see in the movies, and I had to hit a fireman to get him to listen to me, because we COULD NOT get downstairs OR upstairs. Just a living nightmare. Poor Mr. Hampton lost just about everything. His music was found all over Central Park from flying out the windows. Some people in the building were mad at him. Most people supported him. Any questions?

This is the movie clip you should watch. Its only like 2 minutes. It’s the Benny Goodman Orchestra. Benny Goodman was the band leader and clarinetist. Gene Krupa on drums, obviously, and Harry James plays the trumpet right over Gene Krupa’s shoulder. These are some of the best musicians in the history of music. This clip is from 1937, the year they released the recording and the year of this movie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGqtZo2qZ7SVodE
