Re: Gotta Be This Or That - male vocal group - not Sammy Kay

One of the DJ's showed up and it turns out the song was done by the Ames Brothers. It had some of the other swing DJ's stumped.

[Answered] Gotta Be This or That, Ames Brothers

I've heard this a few times, but at this particular venue, the playlist is automated, and the crew that works there during the dance hours doesn't know the music, just how to start / pause / stop the playlist. Song title is Gotta Be This or That, and the vocals are from male group, but with deeper p...

[Hopeless] song title is similar to rock randy and roll?

Not sure, once again I probably mis-understood the DJ.

That might be it. When I see the DJ again, I'll ask him which version he had. I only heard the song one time during a middle break between live band sessions, so I don't remember it that well.

Thanks for the help all.

It's not the Cab Calloway version, at least not one I heard. It's similar to the Benny Goodman version, but I suspect it's a version made by a more modern big band (1970's or later).

That is probably the correct title, but it sounded more like the version done by Wynonie Harris instead of Roy Brown, and the intro was removed and/or this was a special mix version of the song or a version done by yet another person or band. I'll probably see the DJ sometime in the next month or so...

[Answered] Good Rockin' Tonight, Wynonie Harris

Heard this song while at a swing dance and the DJ showed me the name, but I may have mis-read the name or I forgot the exact wording. It's vaguely similar in style to a Stick McGee song (like Six To Eight).

update - Saw the DJ again, it was the Wynonie Harris version.
