The song for Charleston Revue: 12th Street Rag by Fats Waller

 

The song we are using is called “12th Street Rag” by Fats Waller. Here’s what I found on Wikipedia.

Fats Waller (born Thomas Wright Waller on May 21, 1904, died December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer and comedic entertainer.

A skilled pianist — widely recognized as a master of stride piano — Waller was one of the most popular performers of his era, finding critical and commercial success in his homeland and in Europe. Waller was also a prolific songwriter, with many songs he wrote or co-wrote still known to modern audiences, such as “Honeysuckle Rose”, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Squeeze Me”.

You can find the song on the album Handful of Keys on Amazon.ca
