Mama Said - Dionne Bromfield



Only 14 years old. Maybe a bit young to have a music career but she's very good. Let's just hope she doesn't turn out like her godmother Amy Winehouse.

Summertime Blues - Brian Setzer



I know it's a while until Summer but this song happened to play in my music player the other day. Brian Setzer as Eddie Cochran in the movie La Bamba from 1987. The movie is a biographical story of the rise from nowhere of singer Ritchie Valens whose life was cut short by a plane crash. Lou Diamond Phillips played Ritchie Valens.

And I can't post this without posting the song La Bamba with Ritchie Valens.

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - The Andrews Sisters



Such a lovely video. If I'm not mistaken it's from the Abbott and Costello movie Buck Privates from 1941. I also posted the Puppini Sisters version, but I think the original is better (the original usually is). The Puppini Sisters version is much too fast.
