 | Let the Good Times Roll by John Chilton
Louis Jordan (1908-75) is the acknowledged father of rhythm and blues, the jazz saxophonist and vocalist whose inventiveness acted as a bridge between jazz and rhythm and blues, paving the way for Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, James Brown, and countless others. By combining the music of his rural African-American heritage with the sophisticated sounds of nightclub bands, Jordan produced a unique style. His inspired vocals, blending the humor and pathos of his upbringing, soon won him a huge following. Jordan and his Tympany Five made a string of bestselling records that included Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby , Caldonia , and Choo Choo Ch'Boogie . Posthumously, Jordan's name has reached a new audience via the Broadway show Five Guys Named Moe. AUTHOR: John Chilton
