@@jenncan6218 You get no argument from me this man was arguably the most influential musician of the 20th century.He created the MODERN DAY MUSIC VIDEO.But as stated before SISTER ROSETTA THARPE paved the way for him she was singing this music in the '30s
Just great swinging music. Used to play Louis on the juke box in Moss Side Manchester in the 1940s I'm 86 years old now live in the USA but can still remember all the words to Louis songs, what a performer. I have nobody to share and discuss this music with now.
Man i searched that song! Im 46 and heard it first around 1995 in a rockabilly show in Sherbrooke, Québec, Tonight i tought of it and search for it! Great music never dies! :)
" Caldonia " is a jump blues song, first recorded in 1945 by Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five. A version by Erskine Hawkins, also in 1945, was described by Billboard magazine as " rock and roll ", the first time that phrase was used in print to describe any style of music. -- Wikipedia
Jump blues is my favorite! all the spirit of rock n roll with swing era instruments! throw out the sax and replace it for an electric guitar and you've got rock n roll.
@dean currie Whats the difference lol. The way I see it, Rythm and Blues was the 1940s Rock and Roll. If Chuck Berry or Fats Domino sang this exact same song in the 1950s, no one would have notice the difference
@dean currie as my mom and older relatives explained to me, black people didn't call music "boogie woogie" it was the age old, other people making new labels for what we had been doing. Boogie woogie was a category term created by mainstream hosts and radio jockeys. Rock and roll is an art form that was black musical expression born out of blues, rhythm & blues and jazz elements.
AWRY James Brown said that Louis Jordan played a major role in his music career.Jordan was one of the pioneers of a style of music called JUMP BLUES it is the forerunner to everything you hear today!!!!!
If I never picked up Mafia II back in 2010, I never would have been introduced to this legend. Since then, I’ve explored all his music, and all i know is more people need to see Louis Jordan’s work. An absolute ICON!
Now this is what i call real Musical talent. A true legend and this shows as people still listening to this music and loving it years after Louis Jordan Has passed.
I'll never forget this song! I play this song on my bass guitar for a talent show when I was about 12 years old and sang the lyrics and everything! You should have seen the looks i got lol
When I talk about this guy to people who have never heard of him, I say that he was little Richard before Little Richard ever thought of it. I have an anthology album. I can definitely say he was the first rock n' roller ever.
Louis Jordan was known as The King of the Jukebox during the 1940's since people played his records more often than any other artist. He also was credited for writing and performing the first rock n roll and rap songs.
My great grandmother and grandmother listen to Louis Jordan. Had the most #1 R&B hits until James Brown came along. I remember back in the late 60's when folks used to sing " Is You Is Or Is You Not My Baby!". Louis Jordan is a legend.
Weird how tv stations NEVER highlight this fantastic music.When recording studios had very ordinary equipment yet these great musicians had such an amazing sound.
Roman Adar You are looking one of the men who pioneered a style of music called JUMP BLUES it was the forerunner to any form of music heard in the modern era with the exception of Jazz.
The MASTER, Louis Jordan, proves in "CALDONIA" what I've always suspected: HE WAS THE FUNK!!! Predating James Brown, The Coasters, Sly Stone, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Chuck Brown. Doin' it way back in the 1930s and 1940s, and Tearin'! Stuff!! UP!!!! Thanks for uploading this video. He's long since joined the "Band In The Sky" (1975), but this footage makes Louis Jordan--and the FUNK--Eternal!!
To all who are talking about this forgotten icon the style of music he helped to create was JUMP BLUES its forerunner to everything but jazz that you hear in the modern era of music.This man also helped to pioneer MUSIC VIDEOS as well in the '40s!!!!!Jordan influenced others like LITTLE RICHARD,RAY CHARLES,QUINCY JONES,DAVID SANBORN the list is very long and distinguished he died on 2-4-75 at the age of 66.Louis Jordan is arguably the most influential musician born on American soil.His birthdate is 7-8-1908 he hailed from a town called BRINKLEY,ARK.Jordan also helped to pioneer RAP MUSIC as well his contribution to that music genre a song called BEWARE its the forerunner to GOLDDIGGER from Kanye West!!!!!! His band The TYMPANI FIVE paved the way for all other bands in rock and roll or rhythm and blues that came afterwards.
This was what my tour guide called a morning song during a Contiki trip to the West part of US back in I believe 1996. I wondered how were my friends doing from that trip
The lyrics have been altered for the "video" version. Where he says "Mama doesn't know I was in love with Caledonia" should be "Mama didn't know what Caledonia was puttin' down."
One of my patients had me to play this song for him. I really didn't understand why he kept saying putting down, it makes sense now. And what is really cool that he remembers every detail of this song after all these years. Of course he do thinks it 1948.
GODDAMN! That bassists face in the beginning fucking kills me. Like I just can NOT stop laughing....good god.. this is my new favorite genre just because of that guy and the dance Louis does
Man I use to hear this when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Louis Jordan is the 1st rapper listen to the lyrics! What a talent long live this great music. Salud Pop's may you rest in peace..
now this is music! would love to be at a party with musicians like this and this breaks out, people today would be stunned because sorry, this is the real music medicine
my respects go to the members who participated in playing the song. The cello and saxophone are some of the instruments that I find very difficult to learn to play.
Looking up all the songs and artists that I just heard in the movie "Lackawanna Blues". 🙂 This was one of my grandmother's favorite singers and musician.
This is the oldest "music video" I saw MuchMusic (Canada's MTV) play, on a show called 'Backtrax' that included a datestamp (1945) with the Song Title/Artist/Record Label key graphics near the beginning and end of the promo. Thank you for uploading this film.
My father, born in 1923, used to play this on the piano when I was a kid and then got the record. I'm 71 but still love Louis and this song. I jokongly told my daugfhter to name her new child Caldonia, if she's a girl. She never heard that name before and wasn't thrilled with my suggestion.
"A version (of Caldonia) by Erskine Hawkins, also in 1945, was described by Billboard magazine as "rock and roll", the first time that phrase was used in print to describe any style of music.

To be honest I'd say Louis Jordan's music is a bridge between swing and rock'n'roll. I suppose this was R & B of the time, but I'd say his influence on the development of Rock'n'Roll is not to be overlooked.
Rapper / Actor Mos Def sang this song in Lackawana Blues. I think he played Louis Jordan cause there was a scene where he's singing in a night club that S. Epatha Merkerson's character Nanny and her friends go to which takes place in the 50s or 60s.
My mum always played Louis Armstrong! Every night before my brother and I went to bed she would put on a cassette tape with all his songs and we’d be singing along before we fell asleep. Love me some Louie😍
first time i was in a blues bar heard a young Eddy Clearwater sing this with the Bob Riedy Blues Band at the Peanut Barrel Pub in Chicago '74 - just an awesome scene - pitchers of beer and peanut shells on the floor - packed joint - fell in love with the blues that night
Andrew Roberts I would say his main instrument was the alto sax, but he also played the tenor (as here) and baritone sax as well as clarinet (a prerequisite for all sax players) and piano.
Andrew Roberts The song you are listening to laid the groundwork for all MUSIC VIDEOS you have seen in the modern era.A documentary was done on Elvis and a person said he was doing music videos in the '50s but this man started in the '40s.
Thank God for this genre of the worlds most beautiful music. This genre inspired Regina Belle. Who married John Sidney Battle who inspired. The Late great Kobe Bryant to play basketball on a profession level. RIP Mamba. 8/24
Wonderful song fantastic playing Louis and band so joyous woman he's playing to so beautiful introduced me to his great music and that of others like Cab Calloway made a white man from Dublin Ireland very happy Thank you Louis Declan

I bet you could turn me onto some good music. In my mid thirties, but most of the music I love was made way before I was born.

For those that don't know, Louis Jordan was James Brown's main inspiration, especially as a performer.
Also BB kings i believe
No, not BB King, although Mr. Brown respected him.
PaulDA2000
No, he meant that Jordan inspired BB.
Len Walker Oh OK.
Paul this man influenced many more besides James Brown.Louis Jordan influenced a whole generation of musicians who came after him!!!!!!!
That lady on the piano is everything!
Gorgeous beautiful classy women
Everything? That's a LOT!
That’s Caledonia
Nikki O'Daniel - "Harlem's Dancing Princess"
You should see her dance ❣️❣️
Look how smooth, sharp, and suave the whole band looks,too!

+Blood Rynn You see how he looked can you blame him!!!!
Good
Looking swell in those beautiful suits !
That’s called dignity.
As a teenager in the 80s I discovered Louis Jordan. The music seemed ancient then, but it was less than forty years old!
Caldonia was the very FIRST song to be called “Rock & Roll”!

Hello Leslie, how is everything going with you?
My gramps used to call my gram "Callie" after this song. He really took to heart the chorus of this song. He loved my grams more than life itself.
Louis Jordan was a genius!
I'll never forget this song! I play this song on my bass guitar for a talent show when I was about 12 years old and sang the lyrics and everything! You should have seen the looks i got lol
Love this song and you can definitely hear Little Richard when Louis is singing, even though it's many years before Tutti Frutti etc.
When I talk about this guy to people who have never heard of him, I say that he was little Richard before Little Richard ever thought of it. I have an anthology album. I can definitely say he was the first rock n' roller ever.
