Good morning. Matos here again. Say, did you know that this past Sunday was Louis Jordan's birthday? He'd have been 99 years old had he not passed away in 1975. Wait, you don't know Louis Jordan? Do you hate fun? No? Then take a gander at this video (or rather, "soundie") for his mid-40s smash "Caldonia" and remember one of pop music's all-time greats:

hell yes, everyone should know louis jordan.
if it wasn't already my last name, i would have named my kid louis.
sadly my wife has no sense of humor.
Ah, one of the true architects of rock 'n' roll. Well found.
Curse you, Matos, for beating me to a Louis Jordan post. There's a five disc box of Jordan material on JSP that's both endless entertaining and remarkable affordable. [www.amazon.com]
Also, I don't think any musician in history (with the possible exception of Hasil Adkins) has as many songs about food.
