Duke Ellington -It Don't Mean A Thing = Legendary Music Performance 1943 (40S04)

If It Ain't Got That Swing It Don't Mean a Thing. If this isn't a song in the key of life. It is a 1931 composition by Sir Duke with lyrics by Irving Mills. It must be the year swing was born.
 
"Makes no difference if that rhythm's sweet or hot
Give that rhythm everything, everyhing you got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing"
