Today I give you a five per of the same song.

The song is J. Fred Coots' and Haven Gillespie's, "You Go To My Head."

The first version is by Louis Armstrong with Oscar Peterson.



The next version is by Lady Day, Miss Billie Holiday.



The next version is by Julie London (wife of Bobby Troup).
Those of you who are mature enough may remember the television show Emergency.
That show featured both Ms. London and Mr. Troup.



The next version is by the incomparable Lee Morgan.



Last but certainly not least is a version by Diana Krall.

Yeah GD....Thats such a beautiful tune...I've always loved playing that one myself....I couldn't follow that with a better "YGTMH", so I'm going with a tune I love to play aswell, the very seldom heard: "You Leave Me Breathless"

Rock Me - Sister Rosetta Tharpe with Albert Ammons on piano

Gospel great Sister Rosetta Tharpe sings "Rock Me" at the 1938 "From Spirituals to Swing" concert at Carnegie Hall. Boogie Woogie giant Albert Ammons plays piano.
Sister Rosetta influenced Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Ginger Baker and many others. Music historian John Tennison, MD, says this recording of "Rock Me", with Sister Rosetta's guitar, her gutsy vocals, with Albert Ammons boogie woogie piano, and the "resultant polyrythmic percussive drive leave little doubt Tharpe and Ammons were performing rock and roll in 1938." www.bowofo.org (The Boogie Woogie Foundation - BoWoFo)



Rock and roll was around long before Bill Haley, Chuck Berry and Alan Freed as noted about Ms. Tharpe in Billboard 1942 with the release of this same song four years after the Carnegie Hall concert.
