"You Shook Me All Night Long" - swing version

#1 Post by Jonathon Neville » Tue Nov 24, 2009 5:33 pm

At Followlogie, a swing event in Quebec City, I heard a somewhat swinging version - medium or slower-than-medium tempo.
I checked different versions on emusic.com but can't find the one.
I should have asked the DJ.
Do you know of a version that gets played at swing dances?

Thanks,
Jonathon,
Toronto

To complete my registration for this site, I proved I was not just a spammer by including the question I was set to ask on the forum.

After I posted my topic, Jesse Miner sent an email with THE ANSWER:

The only swinging version of "You Shook Me All Night Long" is by The Lost Fingers, a group from your neck of the woods. Their latest album is called "Lost In The 80s", a collection of 80's covers done in a Django style. Love it all! Not sure if it is available in digital format, but I do have a copy of the CD. Here's their web site: http://thelostfingers.com/en.
