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

There was a named Jefferson who
Would tear it up with the
A vocalizin phenomenon who they used to the Main Man
He would like a sage, sing like a horn
And there on the stage somethin was born
He swing, dit n doo dat
He was The Cat.
He with Moody in 57
He put a to bop
When little Benny came down Heaven
He put it the top
Jazz was hot in the East, in the West
But his vocalese it was simply the
man, couldnt he scat
He was The Cat.
Eddie was hip but as an old man
Takin that to celebrate Coleman
Lettin it rip on Body and man
And oh what hed do, the flew
A father was Jefferson but
He never got the
Were here to tell you hes the one that
Put vocalese in the
He would dig in, blowin the hit
And then he would spin out a to fit
He was acrobat
He was The Cat.
There was a time when there was cookin up on every corner
Everybody would sit and listen as they
Tellin stories knew in each his own way
Tellin the news, bop to
Set the moods any way theyd to
Innovation was there
Electrifyin the air youd be, let me tell ya
All around youd hear the of life abounding free
Comin out of a horn, born a new way
Never knew what youd
First we heard from The
the word on the scene was so choice:
Eddie Jeffersons voice, a beautiful noise
of a lyric and what an inventor
Singin with the spirit of jazz at the
whod hear it knew that he was a mentor
Enter for the the sound
You found the rhythm town where you can marry
To every melody that you
For when Eddie would sing, the was king
Hed talk a thing, then be sockin it like the swing of a bat
He it like that!
He would his lyrical zen to
Tickle those phrases like he was to
Take us to places been to
An climb, the cleverest kind!
When Charlie and Moody played it
There was a hush in the
And when Eddie would elevate it
The community bowed
Hed evoke what we heard on the rides
And make every tell a story besides
And all tippin our hat!
He Was The Cat.
