Louis Jordan - V Discs A Music Contribution By Amercas Best For Our Armed Forces Overseas
Review by Andrew Peng
Louis Jordan's album "V Discs: A Music Contribution By America's Best For Our Armed Forces Overseas" is a remarkable tribute to the valor and sacrifice of the American soldiers who fought in World War II. The album features some of the most popular and influential songs of the era, performed by Jordan and his band with skill and passion.
The tracks on the album range from upbeat and swinging to thoughtful and poignant, reflecting the range of emotions experienced by soldiers and their loved ones during the war. Jordan's signature style of jump blues and R&B is evident throughout the album, with his dynamic vocals and masterful saxophone playing driving each song forward.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby," a playful and catchy tune that became a hit both on the radio and on the front lines. Other notable tracks include "G.I. Jive," "Let the Good Times Roll," and "Five Guys Named Moe," all of which showcase Jordan's unique blend of musical genres and his ability to connect with audiences of all backgrounds.

Wonderful! thanks for posting! So great!
Brilliant!
Louis Jordan was just fabulous what a great talent ?
R9 - C9 - Roosevelt socialism ( Chicago and New York) to Clinton Socialism ( Chicago and New York) - the bridge is complete against the Threat of Communism. JFK and Reagan are also part of the bridge completion. Bill Clinton had apologies for slavery and had promised reparations for African Americans during his POTUS terms, yet the KGB used the Black community to block it from happening with the blood sacrifice attacks on Christians and those conservative in their socialism in America. Obama was the diversion and mis direction - the KGB had him steal the sheep/ socialism of Roosevelt/ Clinton and use it to get into office as POTUS. Obama stole the socialism from Hillary Clinton at the 2004 Democratic national convention with the communist MK Ultra speech that many viewed as a run for POTUS. Tony Rezko scandal was the way for Obama to cover up being read by the CIA according to Obama's real estate holdings, like the KGB had dine with the Clinton's in the White water scandal with the McDougall's. McDougal had refuse to testify against the Clinton's, as the KGB were trying to impeach Bill Clinton in order to steal the intellectual property of Franklin Delano Roosevelt socialism, which is what Bill Clinton was born in. Communists were amazed that POTUS Roosevelt had created an American socialism infrastructure against communism with the New Deal.
Communists tried to create their own version of what Roosevelt had done with the Green New Deal - to see if America could be taken over with the same tools of social progress that Roosevelt had used to protect against Stalin and Communist Russia. Roosevelt and Churchill knew that Russia had instigated Nazi Germany, Italian Facism, and Japanese Socialism, among other communist devices. Yet America was asleep to the communist threat both foreign and domestic at the time. This is why Roosevelt staged the false flag known as Pearl Harbor . To agitate the USA citizens into defense of the country with a fake Japanese attack - the Hirohito socialists had never attacked Pearl Harbor - and also protected against a potential pacific coast attack from Hirohito's socialists. Also, Japanese Americans were under potential threat of being exposed to Hirohito socialism and this is why they were put into interment camps. Interment camps are different from concentration camps , as interment / internship is just for a short period of time, to protect the socialism of a group Concentration camps are for ever, and are used to consume the socialism of a group. Concentration camps came from the gulag prisons of Russia. Acts 3:16, 1st chronicles 3:17. Almighty God Iehovah

5 guys named Moe - the best theatre experience I have had in 77 years. Forget t6he name of the guy who produced this musical, but he also did "Unforgetable" a solo tribute to Nat King Cole - another masterpiece !
Discovered Louis through Joe Jackson's album of Jordan covers. Super album, but discovering Louis' music was really gold.
MOE MOE MOE MOE MOE MOE MOE MOE
I was introduced to Louis Jordan from listening to Joe Jackson's Jumping' Jive album from back in the 1980's. Great stuff.
I heard this song on Cold Case and loved it. Glad its on You tube!!
One of the greats. I don't know of anyone who hears his songs and doesn't feel the joy.

When they start to beat it out,
Everybody jumps and shouts,
Tell me who the critics all rave about,
Five guys named Moe.
We came out of nowhere,
And that don't mean a thing,
We rate high and you'll know why,
When you hear us sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.
High brow, low brow, they all agree,
We're the best in harmony,
I'm telling you folks, you really ought to see,
Five guys named Moe

And six guys named Larry, and 1½ guys named Curly.
"Why 1½?"
"The guy said 'Pick a number.' 1½'s a number, ain't it? He didn't say nothin' about what kind of number."
"Why 1½?"
"The guy said 'Pick a number.' 1½'s a number, ain't it? He didn't say nothin' about what kind of number."
Love it.
