AN EXCELLENT DOUBLE-SIDER 78 FROM THE GREAT LOUIS JORDAN WITH BING CROSBY

YOUR SOCKS DON'T MATCH / MY BABY SAID YES

Born July 8, 1908, Brinkley, Arkansas;
died February 4, 1975, Los Angeles, California

The Father of the Rhythm & Blues came out of the blues world of Brinkley, Arkansas, to play in Chick Webb's swing band from 1932 to 1938; he played alto sax and participated in comedy routines.

He began recording for Decca in 1938 with his own Tympany Five, remaining on the label until 1953.

During the eight years that Jordan was 'King Of The Jukeboxes', 1943-1950, his songs occupied the #1 spot on the R&B charts for 113 weeks, or, put another way, Jordan had nearly one-third of all of the top black hit records for eight years

In all these, he pursued a basic rhythm of Shuffle Boogie, later taken over by early Rock 'n' Roll. As he said, he "made the blues jump," and in so doing, influenced B. B. King, Chuck Berry, and Bill Haley.

Your Socks Don’t Match is one of those nice, easy-going jazz tunes with a nice sense of humor, the sort that used to be commonplace. I love the trade off between Jordan and Crosby, particularly the little asides each one tosses out. The song itself sort of lopes along at a gentle pace, making for a very enjoyable listen

YOUR SOCKS DON'T MATCH

We heard a chick just the other day
Cooling out her boyfriend in every way
She kept on squawking, full of complaints
Like she expected folks to be saints
She insisted that he look neat
So this was her complaint complete (report to the nation)

I like the dimple in your chin
I like the tricky way you grin
Still you ain’t no kind of catch (you know why don’t you?) (tell ‘em)
Doggone you son, your socks don’t match

The teeth you have are pearly white (all both of them)
Your lips are sweet and you pucker right
You’re the kind to lift my latch
But doggone you boy, your socks don’t match

The shoes you wear reveal your hose
One red and one bright blue
They’re total strangers and I suppose
You should introduce those two

You got two eyes of lovely blue
Cute little pug nose I go for too
Though you’re the best of all the batch
T’ain’t no use son, cause your socks don’t match

That’s a quick riff Satch, but your socks don’t match

Boy your lyle? is vile and your cotton is rotten

The shoes you wear reveal your hose
One red and one bright blue
They’re total strangers and I suppose
You should introduce those two

Oh, You got two eyes of lovely blue (keep talking Lou)
A Cute little pug nose I go for too (how did Hope get in here?)
Though you’re the best of all the batch
T’ain’t no use son, cause your socks don’t match

You got a red one, a blue one (that ain’t gonna do son)
Your socks don’t match

POSTAGE STUFF

To obey eBaYs latest crackpot edict (in order that they can make money on the postage costs) I have listed this record as having "FREE POSTAGE"

THIS ONLY COVERS UK 2nd CLASS DELIVERY

THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND NORMALLY THE ACTUAL COMBINED PRICE OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE IS

IN THE UK 2nd CLASS £4.00 1st CLASS MAIL £5.00

OVERSEAS AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS EUROPE £ 8.00 & THE REST OF WORLD £ 12.00

To help try and cover this cost, I have included an extra £3.60 into the price of the record and have deducted the same from the cost of the other postage options.

BUYERS COMBINING SEVERAL "FREE" POST ITEMS MAY GET A REBATE.

(Please wait for my invoice before paying so that I can give you the right discount because the eBaY system has no facility for doing this automatically)

10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!
