Tonight we dine on Fats Waller. These Jazz Tribune releases on RCA were great value and comprehensive. I have 6 volumes just on Fats, note the original price sticker from Les Aldrich in Muswell Hill, I used to buy a lot of classical in there too. #FatsWaller #jazz #np #vinyl #MusicSky

#DavidsMonthOfMusic sure goes by fast!! Into #Day19, ‘a song with a part of the body in the title’ - could go back to old jazz standard “Your Feet’s Too Big” by #FatsWaller (1939), or an early disco fave “Hands Up” by #Ottawan (1981). Both of these I recall getting on a dance floor to!
#OnThisDay in 1943, #FatsWaller, American jazz organist, piano player, #singer and composer ("Ain't Misbehavin'"; "Honeysuckle Rose"; "Hot Chocolate"), died of #pneumonia at 39.
#RIP 🪽🥀

Ukulele songsheet for "I’ve Got A Feeling I’m Falling" by Billy Rose, Harry Link & Thos. Waller—AKA Fats Waller—(1929). Lyrics, chord abbreviations and diagrams, unfortunately too much for alt-text.
Sheet music cover for "I’ve Got A Feeling I’m Falling" by Billy Rose, Harry Link & Thos. Waller, with Ukulele and banjo uke accompaniment. Pale pinkish-peach background and illustration of a kneeling man in a brown suit and spats playing a guitar and apparently yodelling with considerable vigour at a young woman seated on a small bench next to him. An area around them is drawn so as to give the conceit that they have burst through the paper.
There were at least *seventeen* different recordings of this song released in 1929 alone… Since then it's become a standard, still covered today (There's a lovely example by Charlotte Pelgen on YouTube).
Despite listening to Annette Hanshaw's version […]
