Love me or leave me

#1 Post by KattenPejst » Tue Feb 10, 2004 2:10 pm

Hi!
I'm looking for a version of 'Love Me or Leave Me' that Kevin
and Carla does a routine to. Unfortunatly I don't know which
artist who recorded it or which album it is on.

I would love to get hold of that version in some way so I can
play it at the evening dance at our Lindy hop camp that's coming
up in two weeks.

Can you help me?

I think they were doing a routine to the Sammy Davis Jr. version, does it have a lot of scatting? I don't know what album its off of, though, you'd have to check AMG.

They have both phone and email contact info listed on their site - probably quickest to contact them directly.

The Sammy Davis Jr. version is on a bunch of his albums. Many of his compilations have it. You should be able to pick it up cheap. If that is the version you are looking for.

It was a chart hit for him back way back in the 50s.

I couldn't find the orginal K&C clip where I first saw/heard the
song, but I found another one with the same song.
(btw, a really good imitation/parody of K&C)

Thanks for your help, i'll head for the record store later today.

Apparently Sparky Polastri is going around selling routines again.
