Bobby Troup sings “Route 66″ April 24, 2007
Posted by Ron in Music.trackback
I’ve posted a few dozen versions of “Route 66″ on this Web site.
But this is the first I’ve posted by the composer of “Route 66″ himself, Bobby Troup. Here he is in 1964, showing his jazz chops on piano during a segment of “The Julie London Show.”
This was a pretty neat video, although I prefer the way he originally sang it more!
And of course, Julie London was his wife, right?
That was fabulous! Funny, he looks more like an insurance salesman than a jazz pianist.
