Nat King Cole - Route 66 (Performance Video)

Nat King Cole performing Route 66, live with his trio in 1951. A rare performance video in the form of a Studio Telescription (different to a Soundie), and according to Weird Wild Realm, "Because the trio became popular a bit late to become important to the soundies era (which in the main had ended by 1946), these telescriptions are in fact Snader Telescriptions, thus significant as live performances, usually quite well recorded." Performers on Route 66: Nat King Cole - piano, vocal Irving Ashby - guitar Joe Comfort - bass Jack Costanzo - conga Nat King Cole Route 66 Lyrics: If you ever plan to motor west, Travel my way, take the highway that is best. Get your kicks on route sixty-six. It winds from Chicago to la, More than two thousand miles all the way. Get your kicks on route sixty-six. Now you go through Saint Looey Joplin, Missouri, And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty. You see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff, Arizona. Don't forget Winona, Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino. Won't you get hip to this timely tip When you make that California trip Get your kicks on route sixty-six. Won't you get hip to this timely tip: When you make that California trip Get your kicks on route sixty-six. Get your kicks on route sixty-six. Get your kicks on route sixty-six. We hope you enjoy this performance video of Nat King Cole playing (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 live with his trio. 🎧 Listen to more of the best Folk Music Classics:    • Classic Folk Music (American Folk Music's ...   🛎 Subscribe to Cornerstone Recordings for more:    / @cornerstonerecordingsofficial   #NatKingCole #Route66 #VintageMusic #ClassicFolkMusic #CornerstoneRecordings
