Brian Setzer had a small comeback with his swing orchestra in 1998 with "Jump, jive an' wail", first performed in the 1950's by Louis Prima.

I have twice already tried to answer this post and get the game untracked, and twice the power has gone out. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something.  Anyway ..... Tommy's group, Motley Crue had a top 10 hit with a song called "Without You". Long before this, (and even well before Pete Ham and Tom Evans wrote a similarly titled tune that went to #1 for Nilsson) a different song ALSO called "Without You" was written by and became a top 10 hit for Johnny Tillotson. |
