Song of the Week! September 23rd – Splanky

SONG OF THE WEEK!

Song: Splanky

Artist: Count Basie (original), George Gee (contemporary)

Description: Another Count Basie classic! This is a terrific swing song and has been made particularly popular within the contemporary Lindy Hop community by Dawn Hampton. Dawn uses this song in her musicality demonstrations and she is a true embodiment of the music. Her favourite version is George Gee’s very swinging rendition of the song, as illustrated in [4]this clip.
