Carmen McRae

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. more »

I was talking to the whippoorwill
He says you've got a corny trill
Bob White, whatcha gonna swing tonight?

I was talking to the mockingbird
He says you are the worst he's heard
Bob White, whatcha gonna swing tonight?

Even the owl tells me you're foul singing those lullaby notes
Don't be a bring down if you can swing down
Give me those high notes

There's a lotta talk about you, Bob
And they're saying you're off the cob
Fake it, Mister B
Take it, follow me, Bob White
