Hello,

I heard a song I really like, but don't know the name of it. I'd be happy if someone could help me identify it. This is me singing the tune.

Sounds like Good Queen Bess. I know of recordings by Johnny Hodges and Peter Davis' Lindy Hop Heaven. I'm partial to the Hodges version.

Definitely sounds like the Ellington/Hodges version of "Good Queen Bess". Here's a sample for reference.

Great tune!

Jesse
