This is wonderful. I only know her from Benny Goodman's "And the Angels Sing". Great song, wonderful video.
I have always been fond of Big Band music and it is strange that I had lived my whole 55 year life oblivious of the name Martha Tilton. Then one day in 2008 I was checking out some assorted videos on YouTube and I ran across this video "A Little Jive Is Good For You" - WOW. I immediately wanted to know who was this MARTHA TILTON. I was amazed that I didn't remember hearing of her name and that I had lived my whole life not listening to her great voice. Well I guess I will tell you I think the video is Timeless and Martha Tilton was an entertaining genius. No more Heavy Metal or Rap (metaphors only) for me because Martha Tilton recorded enough music to last me many more years. I was never a good dancer, two left feet, but this song makes me want to get up and jive.
