Michelle Warthen you are correct. In a fascinating book, Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of World War II pgs. 198-199 ,your grandfather was the one who created the sound off "Jody" cadence. He obtained a copyright for it and I hope he got paid. The book was written by Christopher Paul Moore.
I was born in 1948. Mom always used to play this full blast to wake up my sister and I. Grandpa was a doctor in WWI and WWII San Diego Naval Hospital, California. Dad was his Pharmacist Mate and also was in the Pacific. Nephew was Devil Doc in Iraq I could go on. My husband is retired Air Force Officer. GO 🇺🇸 GO MILITARY 🇺🇸 God and country❤
Way back in 1952 I saw this film and was really impressed with the music. I subsequently purchased and HMV 78 rpm record which featured this music with "Lady Love" on the reverse. I became and remain a Vaughn Monroe fan to this very day. Yesterday, 15th October 2021, (at aged 85) I was tidying up the garage and playing, and really enjoying a V.M. cassette. I also have several LP's which get played regularly. Sadly, rarely heard nowadays but still one my all time favourites. Kind regards from England.
Vaughn- "The Voice with Hair on its Chest"...Barely remembered today, he sold ZILLIONS of records in the '40s & early '50s. He was sposed to be a really nice guy, too, the kind of guy you'd want as a friend.
Saw this film in 1953 and loved it, despite adverse comments from the critics. Starred Mickey Rooney. Bought the HMV 78 rpm and found my all-time Vaughn Monroe favourite on the "B" side...."My Lady Love". Have been a devoted fan ever since and have in the past ten or so years been able to collect several C.D's by Vaughn. I play them regularly.
I loved the Cadence when marching, always a great feeling of Comaraderie! I was in 1968 to 1972, before training had women integrated into our ranks. But get away from the crowds or battalion areas and the Cadence got really raunchy. Don't hear any of them on TH-cam!
@@Princess31096 Mr. Duckworth's approach to cadence has livened up many a mundane moment and lifted the morale of a lot of those who have served after him. Some cadence calls are pure works of art.
To Michelle, my heart and wishes go out to you and your family in the memory that is still upheld within the military forces that still march to the Sound Off that your grandfather brought to the attention all those years ago. Well done him 👍
Great recording. Brings me back to my days in the USAF Basic training at Parks Air Force Base in 1952. Only difference is that we got chewed out continually for stupid little things. During a quarters inspection, I got a gig for failing to button a shirt pocket on a shirt hanging on the rack. A friend of mine got a gig for having dust in the air. Yes, we were taught discipline and respect.
I think this was in the end of the Hollywood war film ,Battleground released in 1949.Never got it out of my head and always wondered what and where to hear it.Thanks for the upload.
"Ballerina" was popular the day I was born. Vaughan Moore is/was a great singer, loved "They Call The Wind Maria". I used to sing this many years ago, but didn't know the vocalist. A true pleasure to rediscover this man. Age 67.
The song was part of the big finish in William Wellman's world War ll opus Battleground. Van Johnson ties the chin strap on his steel pot and yells to Sarge: "Hey Sarge, what ever happened to Jody?" Sarge: "your mother was there when you left!" To which the troops respond "You;re right!" :Vaughn Monroe Takes Over. Its the last and best scene in Wellman's Battleground. It'll knock your eyes out.
Everyone, I have a prayer request. I am listening to this song, because my cousin is in the Army, and so, please, keep him in your thoughts and prayers
was the passing out parade regular army?...do you have the original sound?...i did basic at puckapunyal when i was in the army reserve in 1981...its good to see this..marty
my mother was a BIG booty Fan of him. his deep voice as she said gave her goose bumps..funny I just saw a comment and my also found hairy chests on men sexy. it's her birthday today...and I still love 💕🌹 too. 90 would be how mature here with us she would be. my mommy 😇🤪🍺☮️ was my best birthday present I ever I had first. happy birthday mom. next stop here is the ink spots
Its 2 RTB Puckapunyal 1969 Conscript passing out parade, then off to corpse training. Never heard the song before, what we sang as marching songs would be too politically incorrect for the pampered public who have never experienced Army life. Just imagine telling them they have to give up 2 of the best years of their life and put their life and limbs on the line in an unpopular war, be paid fuck all, be treated like shit by the government that sent you to war and even some of the shitheads in our own community. You may like the song ( why, I am buggered if I know it's not even Australian ) but you wouldn't like the story.
+John Casper. No, it was actually during the Korean War. The song was recorded and released in 1953. I was 10 years old and in the fourth grade at the time. It was a little funny. We've go eat Mexican food on Friday nights. The restaurant, LaCasita, was full of WWII vets. They'd sing along with whether they were sober or not.
My grandfather Willie lee Duckworth Sr. wrote the chant "Sound Off" that's why it is also known as " The Duckworth Chant"

Found this on Sirius channel 73. Great tune, dad sang this. Never knew who sang or wrote it. Thanks!

once you hear it you can't get it out of your head
Brings back memories. We added some verses to it
This was played at my grandfathers funeral (he was a marine) and it just fitted with how he was!

Sorry for your loss.
My grandfather wrote this song and I know my family would be proud to know that people still use his song.
@@Princess31096 The cadence is a little bit more colorful than what this video shows at least with the FMF.
@@ernestturnage3653 I've heard different versions through out my life. I'm just so proud that my grandfather's song is still being used.

I was doing basic training here in the UK for the RAF at the same time.

Reminds me of U.S.C.G.basic training. We made up our own lyrics to the song as we marched.
Remember this well,Ft. Benning 1980.
My grandpa once told me that he and his company sang this all the time during military service in 1946
I love listening to Great songs like is
The Whiskey Baritone counts it off. Great song and conjures thoughts and praise for the greatest generation.

Sounds like Basic Training in the USAF, early days when we just parted company with the US.Army.
Nicely Done!
Great to see the old SLR's on parade here!They look better then the Steyrs.
Que hermosas e inolvidables canciones de V Monroe 5 estrellas.¡!
Job of military to acknowledge communications to save lives innocent lives.
Very nice!
Everyone, I have a prayer request. I am listening to this song, because my cousin is in the Army, and so, please, keep him in your thoughts and prayers

Great stuff, Mike. You have always been a fan of the army and military history.
Kind regards,

The footage is of the Australian Army, but the soundtrack is not. It's American.
We don't march to cadences in the Australian Army.
If the military had invented rap, this is what it would sound like..
was this in australia

No lie. Fort Polk, LA. That Jodie sure gets around, doesn't he?

Passing out parade, Pukapunyal, Australia 1969
