single, 1940
Written by Don Raye, Hughie Prince, and Ray McKinley
Pounding boogie-woogie piano and horns, with expert harmonies. Supposedly, a pianist named Freddie Slack was nicknamed Daddy, and McKinley, a drummer, would ask for a boogie beat, or eight to the bar. A couple of songwriters heard him, and a song was born. The sisters' cheeky harmonies really make the song, bouncing effortlessly between playful syncopation and silky smooth blend.
