[Answered] Sent For You Yesterday, The Mills Brothers
Moderators: Mr Awesomer, JesseMiner, CafeSavoy
I have just arrived back from a dance camp and need some help in identifying a song. It is a vocal version of "Sent For You Yesterday" and has a very distinctive chorus of "Let it roll Mr Basie, let it roll" repeated. The vocalist was male and I assume the band was Count Basie (by the sound of song New Testament??). It was used by Kevin St Laurent but he didn't know the source. Thanks.

This version is by The Mills Brothers with Count Basie off of The Board of Directors & Annual Report (2 albums on 1 CD). Great version (I play it all the time), but the CD is apparently quite hard to find these days.russell wrote:It is a vocal version of "Sent For You Yesterday" and has a very distinctive chorus of "Let it roll Mr Basie, let it roll" repeated.

Wow. Looks like there are a bunch of new/used copies available from Amazon Marketplace sellers for under $10! Great to see the CD more available now.
