G.I. JIVE

Everything was geared toward the war and war effort including some great tunes about G.I. life.

One of the best had to be G.I. Jive no matter who recorded it—
and many did—Louie Jordan, Ray Mckinley and the great Johnny Mercer.
It's a hot, slow jump blues, boogie woogie.

This is remembering an incredible time and generation of Americans who could dance
and swing like no one's business all the while spitting in our enemy's eyes.
Damn, I wish I could have been there. I'd dance like crazy.

G.I Jive is one of my favorite jump jitterbugs during WWII from the great Johnny Mercer.
