Trivia time guys and gals.

[Brer Rabbit]

So a song popped up in my head today and I started singing it at work and much to my delight a few others jumped in and started jammin the real old school way. The song was from a Tom and Jerry cartoon from the 40s! Of course I remember it from the late 70s and early 80s but the problem I'm having is I can't find who the person who really sings the song is. I was able to find a link on you tube so please give it a listen...it might bring back a few childhood memories and if U know who it is please let me know who this guy was. Heres the link......... YouTube - Tom & Jerry - Is you or Is you ain't my baby

I found the lyrics so far...

Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby
I got a gal that's always late
Every time we have a date
But I love her
Yes I love her

I'm gonna walk right up to her gate
And see if I can get it straight
Cause I want her
I'm gonna ask her

Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
Yous is still my baby-baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You find she's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true?

Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
Yous is still my baby-baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You find she's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true?



They just don't make em like this anymore...a true classic.

 

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

Type in Johnny Cash and listen to these 3 songs back to back...

Hurt, this should be at the top of the list.

2nd song... Scroll down to Gods gonna cut you down

3rd song Scroll down and watch his last performance at the Carter Family Fold.

Youtube is the best, i usually just scroll thru music songs and listen to them as the video is going.

What a classic, can't even find that on TV anymore:frown:

Sorry, can't help on who originally sang it, but Tom seems to do a good job

Yeah Tom sure has some skills. My 6 and 9 year old were watching all the tom and jerry videos posted. Its amazing how even with all the new cartoons they can still appreciate the old stuff.

 

[Brer Rabbit]

Gonna do some searching on him.

Lionel Hampton?

Thanx.
