He was a God kiss for the like of us. He made a real piano swing with every note. I listen and listen and listen and never tire of the swing and sound. A true gift piece of music that should be heard by; everyone at least once. Thank you Mr. Bobby Troup for a great legacy of music.
Perfection (Mr.Troup, stellar! and great quality audio/video so nothing's lost). And to think, I would've never gotten to enjoy this if someone hadn't thought to share it--so THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Met Bobby when I playing a solo guitar gig at the university of Pennsylvania in the late 80s. He listened to a whole set he was there for a class reunion.
I'm fascinated by his timing. It's very apparent that he loved music (and his wife Julie London.) Watch him as he meticulously plays the piano. Perfect. I like the way he leaned into his rhythm at 3:47 I think it's great. Thanks for posting and sharing.
