Luyện nghe bài hát He Was The Cat (A Tribute to Eddie Jefferson)

There was a named Jefferson who
tear it up with the band
A vocalizin phenomenon who they used to call the Man
He would think a sage, sing like a horn
And there on the stage somethin special was
He swing, dit n doo dat
He was The Cat.
He sang Moody in 57
He put a to bop
When Benny came down from Heaven
He put it the top
was hot in the East, cool in the West
But his it was simply the best
Because man, he scat
He was The Cat.
Eddie was hip but as an old man
Takin that trip to Coleman
Lettin it rip on Body and man
And oh hed do, the poetry flew
A founding father was but
He got the acclaim
Were to tell you that hes the one that
Put vocalese in the
He dig sittin in, blowin the hit
And then he would out a story to fit
He was some
He was The Cat.
There was a time when there was jazz cookin up on every
Everybody would sit and listen as blew
stories they knew in each his own way
Tellin the news, bop to
Set the moods any way want to
Innovation was there
Electrifyin the air everywhere youd be, let me ya
All around youd hear the sound of abounding free
out of a horn, bein born a new way
Never knew what youd
First we from The Bean
the word on the scene was so choice:
Eddie Jeffersons voice, a beautiful noise
Master of a and what an inventor
Singin with the spirit of at the center
Anyone whod hear it knew that he was a
for the love the sound
You found the rhythm where you can marry vocabulary
To every that you hear
For when Eddie sing, the story was king
Hed about a thing, then be sockin it like the swing of a bat
He it like that!
He would embrace his zen to
Tickle those like he was meant to
Take us to places been to
An Everest climb, the kind!
When Charlie Parker and Moody it
There was a hush in the
And when Eddie would elevate it
The jazz bowed
Hed evoke what we heard on the rides
And make every word tell a besides
And all tippin our hat!
He Was The Cat.
