(68,808 posts)1. My favorite version of that, and also my favorite YouTube video:
It's Jack Fina's boogie woogie version.
Have a fire extinguisher ready; your monitor might catch fire:
Jack Fina?
Jack Fina
Jack Fina (August 13, 1913 May 14, 1970) was a bandleader, songwriter, and pianist.
Known as "The Ten Most Talented Fingers On Radio", Fina was born in Passaic, New Jersey, and educated at the New York College of Music and was a student of August Fraemcke and Elsa Nicilini. He started out playing piano in Clyde McCoy's band sometime in the 1930s, but it wasn't until he joined Freddy Martins band in 1936 that he gained real fame, when he was featured on Martins famous recording of "Tonight We Love".
....
Fina died aged 56, from a heart attack during an engagement at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Sherman Oaks, California. He is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Hollywood Hills.
