Roy Eldridge

David Roy Eldridge (January 30, 1911 – February 26, 1989), nicknamed "Little Jazz" was an American jazz trumpet player. His sophisticated use of harmony, including the use of tritone substitutions, his virtuosic solos exhibiting a departure from the smooth and lyrical style of earlier jazz trumpet innovator Louis Armstrong, and his strong impact on Dizzy Gillespie mark him as one of the most influential musicians of the swing era and a precursor of bebop. more »

Watch the birdie, we'll take a camera candid shot
Watch the birdie, come on and give it all you've got
Watch the birdie, just look around and pick a spot
And hold it

Watch the birdie, just strike a funny pose a while
Watch the birdie or you can beat that pose a mile
Watch the birdie and let me see your pretty smile
And hold it

We're looking for a tall dark handsome man
With eyes of blue and the golden tan
Strong white teeth like Joel McCray
Hey you, get out of the way

Watch the birdie, we'll take a camera candid shot
Watch the birdie, come on and give it all you've got
Watch the birdie, just look around and pick a spot
And hold it, hold it

Hold it
