"Flat Foot Floogie" was Slim & Slam's first and biggest hit song.〔 Their version was one of the top records of 1938, peaking at number two on US charts. ==History== Bulee "Slim" Gaillard (1916–1991) and Leroy "Slam" Stewart (1914–1987) met in New York City in 1936 and formed a duo, performing together on the radio and in 52nd Street clubs, with Gaillard on guitar and vocals and Stewart on bass. They attracted radio pioneer Martin Block to manage them and he arranged a contract with Vocalion. On February 17, 1938 Slim and Slam recorded "Flat Foot Floogie" (Vocalion 4021).〔 Gaillard sold the publishing rights to "Flat Foot Floogie" to Green Brothers and Knight for $250, and writing credit was shared with Bud Green.〔 Shortly thereafter, Benny Goodman & His Orchestra played it on the ''Camel Caravan'' radio show, launching its rise to popularity.〔 Slim & Slam's record peaked at number 2 on ''Billboard'' charts〔 and at number 5 on ''Your Hit Parade''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flat Foot Floogie (with a Floy Floy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
