Larry Darnell, I'll Get Along Somehow (1981) r. 1949-1957

Tuesday's lunch record is "Larry Darnell, I'll Get Along Somehow" (1981) r. 1949-1957. This is a wonderful compilation of one of the finest jump blues singers during the fifties. Larry Darnell had a powerful and passionate voice usually backed by the slick big band of Paul Geyton. He had numerous successful hit records and was known as "Mr. Heart & Soul". He helped set the table of what was being called rock and roll and he did it with elegance, graceful singing his good looks and awesome stage presence. The YouTube sample song from this album is "I'll Get Along Somehow" (1949) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RynLj991WpI . . . . . bucko . .
