Charlie
Parker Reboppers record Now's The Time, for Savoy Records in New York City, USA. The track's main melody will inspire Paul Williams to re-cycle it four years later under the title The Hucklebuck, also for Savoy Records. It should be noted, however, that Williams didn't steal it from Parker. He stole it from D Natural Blues, a clearly Parker-influenced song he'd heard played live by Lucky Millinder And His Band, who later recorded it for RCA Records.
