*LYRICS!* It makes no difference what your ailment is It may be gout, it may be rheumatis-- I know the very very best cure It beats a diet or a rest cure When your feet are draggin' And your knees are saggin' And you don't know what to do A little jive is good for you! When your blues are chronic And you need a tonic Place your shoes and follow through A little jive is good for you Dig lightly! Politely! Hold tightly! In a minute, you'll be in the mood Feel yourself relaxin' That's the right reaction Try it out, no matter who A little jive is good for you Better start to take it slow 'Till you start to feel a glow Get a grip and don't let go In a minute you'll be in the mood Feel yourself relaxin' That's the right reaction Try it out, no matter who A little jive is good for you!

I just love it. I believe hearing that Martha Tilton was Benny Goodman's favorite female singer amongs his many. Maybe, it was my beloved father, Willie Rosenberg. Thanks for sharing this wonderful music with all of us. I Iris Rosenberg-Cooper

Wonderful song, great orchestra, swingin' singing, and lively eccentric dancing. Too bad we can't all could get cured so easily in real life, eh? This song reminds me of "Love Is Good For Anything That Ails You", a '30s song which was re-used in the '80s film, "Pennies From Heaven".

so much great old stuff on youtube,Like roulette you just spin the wheel and see if it's your lucky number that turns up. This track is typical of the old time entertainment, dished out by true pro's. I had not heard much of Martha Tilton but I knew of Ben Pollack. Ben died by his own hand around the early 70s. Martha was a not bad singer . I Ikind'a like her.What about those jitterbuggers ?

BixLives32 I know she's not original or brilliant, I just said she has a good voice, which is true. And anyway I don't see her as a decline as she isn't popular anymore besides. I like to keep an open mind about most things, I like lots of different music from different eras - one of my favourite albums is Fleetwood macs rumors. Florence and the machine is another favourite and they are influenced by Fleetwood Mac. Then there's bjork, Kate Bush, of Monsters and men, sigur Ros, lana del rey... To name a couple. Not everyone today is obsessed with nicki minaj and Rihanna. Please try to believe that.
