First Recording of Bobby Troup's song
Just a crazy coincidence, but Bobby Troup wrote the famous jazz song "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" in 1946. It was recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio later that year. That means the song is and original recording is now 67 years old! This goes to prove that there was actually music before I was born.
The song was an immediate world wide hit. It was later covered by many artists, including Chuck Berry (1961), the Rolling Stones (1964), Depeche Mode (1987), Pappos Blues (1995) John Mayer (2006), and Glenn Frey (2012).
