Fact #49902
When:
Short story:
Lucky
Millinder And His Band record D Natural Blues, for
RCA
Records in the USA. The track is virtually identical to a
better-known song, The
Hucklebuck, previously recorded on December 15, 1948 for
Savoy
Records by Paul Williams.
It is believed, however, that Williams first heard it played by
Millinder but he took it into the studio first. Both songs, it
should be noted, bear a great deal of similarity to Now's The Time, recorded for Savoy by Charlie 'Bird'
Parker in 1945.
