    My favorite song of hers is The Angels Sing with Benny Goodman. Her CD "Liltin' Martha Tilton" is very good.

    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

    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".

    *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!

    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 ?

    The song's so catchy. Music from the 1920s-1950s is my thing. I hate the rap crap of today.

      Dan French You are experiencing The Decline of everything that was hip about music. Golly, I am so sorry for you. Try listening to some Basie with Jimmy Rushing or perhaps The King Cole Trio. You never know. You may have some hidden soul inside, somewhere.

      @darkmateria2486 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

  • @radiolon4
    @radiolon4 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Though this song seems to be about music and that's all, "jive" could = marijuana in 1930s slang -- as in "Here Comes The Man With The Jive: by Cab Calloway,.

    @73380401 that's not a real nurse. that's an actress acting as a nurse, wearing a costume. nurses are there to look after the sick, not to aesthetically please your eye. it's not their job to "have beautiful smiles".
