Chuck, I also like Robbie's version. in fact, I like the whole Swing When You're Winning cd.

[welshlibranr]

Fats Waller, I think was the first!.............love it!...........

[ChuckFickens]

Sara, I think swing was disliked by a lot of people just because it was Robbie and they couldn't bring themselves to admit it was a bloody good album and he can pull off that type of music very well.

Not sure if this embed will work as Youtube is displaying odd looking links for me, but the John Holt version of this song is my favourite.

Oh Spudqueen, you made my day with that video of Sammy Davis Jr! That is my favorite verson of the Mr. Bojangles! Many, many years ago, I was lucky enough to meet Sammy Davis Jr. through a family friend who has a close friend of Sammy's. He was a lovely man and a great talent! Thanks for posting that! x
