Louis Jordan: You Will Always Have a Friend If You Have Some Money To Spend


Our Newave pal Wayno was positively evangelical almost a quarter century ago when it came to the music of Louis Jordan, "The Last Swinger; The First Rocker." He compiled a great cassette of Jordan's songs and converted me. I pulled this out a couple months ago and enjoyed the songs more than ever.

Lately the song "You Will Always have a Friend if You Have Some Money to Spend" is running through my mind.

Thanks for introducing me to Jordan's music, Wayno. I'm still a fan, both of you and Louis.
