"Let the Good Times Roll" is a jump blues song recorded in 1946 by Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five. A mid-tempo twelve-bar blues, the song became a blues standard and one of Jordan's best-known songs.〔 〕 ==Original song== "Let the Good Times Roll" is "Louis Jordan's buoyant invitation to party":〔 〕 :Hey everybody, let's have some fun :You only live but once, and when you're dead you're done :So let the good times roll, let the good times roll :Don't care if you're young or old, get together let the good times roll The song was written by Sam Theard, a New Orleans-born blues singer and songwriter, and was co-credited to Fleecie Moore, Jordan's wife, who never wrote a lyric in her life (however, her name was sometimes substituted for Jordan's to get around an inconvenient publishing contract; this strategy backfired when Louis and Fleecie divorced acrimoniously and she kept ownership of the songs he'd put her name on -- thus denying him any income from them). Jordan and the Tympany Five performed the song in the 1947 film ''Reet, Petite, and Gone'', although the studio recording rather than a live performance is used in the soundtrack. 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「Let the Good Times Roll (Louis Jordan song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
