I just love it. I believe hearing that Martha Tilton was Benny Goodman's favorite female singer amongs his many. Maybe, it was my beloved father, Willie Rosenberg. Thanks for sharing this wonderful music with all of us. I Iris Rosenberg-Cooper

MARTHA TILTON (November 14, 1915 - December 8, 2006) 100 ANNIVERSARY HER BIRTH TODAY!!! YOUR CANDLE TO REMEMBER FOREVER!!! She was an American popular singer
Of Course that " A little Jive is Good for everybody ".... These wonderful melodies...orchestras....and singers are still ...."Alive" and ..making us to smile and move our feet....
Wonderful song, great orchestra, swingin' singing, and lively eccentric dancing. Too bad we can't all could get cured so easily in real life, eh? This song reminds me of "Love Is Good For Anything That Ails You", a '30s song which was re-used in the '80s film, "Pennies From Heaven".
*LYRICS!* It makes no difference what your ailment is It may be gout, it may be rheumatis-- I know the very very best cure It beats a diet or a rest cure When your feet are draggin' And your knees are saggin' And you don't know what to do A little jive is good for you! When your blues are chronic And you need a tonic Place your shoes and follow through A little jive is good for you Dig lightly! Politely! Hold tightly! In a minute, you'll be in the mood Feel yourself relaxin' That's the right reaction Try it out, no matter who A little jive is good for you Better start to take it slow 'Till you start to feel a glow Get a grip and don't let go In a minute you'll be in the mood Feel yourself relaxin' That's the right reaction Try it out, no matter who A little jive is good for you!
so much great old stuff on youtube,Like roulette you just spin the wheel and see if it's your lucky number that turns up. This track is typical of the old time entertainment, dished out by true pro's. I had not heard much of Martha Tilton but I knew of Ben Pollack. Ben died by his own hand around the early 70s. Martha was a not bad singer . I Ikind'a like her.What about those jitterbuggers ?
If I had 3 sons and a daughter I will show them this video and tell them if they can duplicate this performance they will each get a large allowance - This is classic
Dan French You are experiencing The Decline of everything that was hip about music. Golly, I am so sorry for you. Try listening to some Basie with Jimmy Rushing or perhaps The King Cole Trio. You never know. You may have some hidden soul inside, somewhere.
BixLives32 I know she's not original or brilliant, I just said she has a good voice, which is true. And anyway I don't see her as a decline as she isn't popular anymore besides. I like to keep an open mind about most things, I like lots of different music from different eras - one of my favourite albums is Fleetwood macs rumors. Florence and the machine is another favourite and they are influenced by Fleetwood Mac. Then there's bjork, Kate Bush, of Monsters and men, sigur Ros, lana del rey... To name a couple. Not everyone today is obsessed with nicki minaj and Rihanna. Please try to believe that.
Though this song seems to be about music and that's all, "jive" could = marijuana in 1930s slang -- as in "Here Comes The Man With The Jive: by Cab Calloway,.
(Please pardon my British) I thought as though it was the top-one. Not too mental was it? (P.C. dead on) Anyway the song is tickety-boo. And Martha is always beautiful. PAX? to you too mate.
@73380401 that's not a real nurse. that's an actress acting as a nurse, wearing a costume. nurses are there to look after the sick, not to aesthetically please your eye. it's not their job to "have beautiful smiles".
I CAN SEE WHY THEY WERE CALLED: THE GREATEST GENERATION!
Martha sure knew how to deliver a song.....and what a pretty gal she was!
Super, super classy lady......yesterday would have been her 100th birthday....
I have never heard of Martha Tifton till today! I think shes excellent and lovely!
Thats right ! that was real music !
Dig It ! Dig It ! The 1930's & 1940's were a great time period in this country !!
Fantastic!!!
Thanks
I'm in love with head-wound guy.
Saw her in Clearwater, Florida during the 90s. She still sounded good.
She's absolutely darling... this is great!
Soooo cute. Love the dancing! Love the silly grins on their faces too.
Love "lilton"Martha Tilton!
That was music!
I always thought Martha had to be black to have a voice as great as that! I couldn't have been more wrong! She is as beautiful as her voice!
+Steve Moss Erm, she couldn't have been beautiful if she was black?
MARTHA TILTON IS GREAT,THE DANCERS ARE AMAZING,VERY FUNNY CONCEPT .THANKS
Best female singer ever, fell in love the second I heard her voice
What a beautiful woman.
JUST DISCOVERED HER THIS EVENING!!MAN OH MAN I DIG HER MUSIC! QUITE A LOOKER TOO!
Martha aged very well and performed nearly to the end. A very amiable personality popular in show business.
I just love it. I believe hearing that Martha Tilton was Benny Goodman's favorite female singer amongs his many. Maybe, it was my beloved father, Willie Rosenberg.

What a cutie. I think a little Martha Tilton is what was good for those guys!
What a terrific bounce this has.
My favorite song of hers is The Angels Sing with Benny Goodman. Her CD "Liltin' Martha Tilton" is very good.
What a cutie, instantly fell in love with this song and Martha Tilton, can't believe I've been missing out!!!

Fabulous.
great Martha ;-)
I watch this almost every day for a boost in morale. But, what's up with the ten thumbs down?! Ten grumpy curmudgeons I guess...
Wonderfully charming.
Wonderful song, great orchestra, swingin' singing, and lively eccentric dancing. Too bad we can't all could get cured so easily in real life, eh?

I've only heard her on records, never knew she was so good looking!
I always watch this when I feel sick or have aches and pains, lol
Does the trick every time :)
Isn't anyone going to mention what great dancers the Slate Brothers were?
nice melody... nice song... nice composition... nice arrangement... nice performance... nice.... mooi... bellissimo... schön...
and what an era!
this makes me feel soooooooooo good :-)
*LYRICS!*
It makes no difference what your ailment is
It may be gout, it may be rheumatis--
I know the very very best cure
It beats a diet or a rest cure
When your feet are draggin'
And your knees are saggin'
And you don't know what to do
A little jive is good for you!
When your blues are chronic
And you need a tonic
Place your shoes and follow through
A little jive is good for you
Dig lightly!
Politely!
Hold tightly!
In a minute, you'll be in the mood
Feel yourself relaxin'
That's the right reaction
Try it out, no matter who
A little jive is good for you
Better start to take it slow
'Till you start to feel a glow
Get a grip and don't let go
In a minute you'll be in the mood
Feel yourself relaxin'
That's the right reaction
Try it out, no matter who
A little jive is good for you!
That bass is swingin'!! Ah Cha Cha Cha!
wow. could they do musicals. or what?
Great job by Martha, whom I had never heard of before.
Love "liltong"Martha Tilton!
amazing dance skillz! :o
well that made my day...I feel better already ,,,thank you

predecessing rock 'n roll! I love this stuff..
Great!
great!!! I just had knee replacement!!
This is sure good for us....delightful share. Thanks for this lovely video.
I Love It. I dance to this.
She's the cure for what ails you!
Самое лучшее лекарство!Движение это жизнь! Красиво!
Classic routine ~
We need more "Hep-Cat" nurses in this world.
TOPS!
check out for Disney's Mickey and the Beanstalk. Martha was the voice of the harp.
nice :)
The one guy gives her the elevator eyes treatment: from shoelaces to shampoo. Lol
hellooo nurse!
yeah get that Jive going mayne! nice one
I do like Big Band music and it does'nt matter to me that the music was made half a century before I was born.
the first thing that popped into my head, when i saw this is "Hellooooo Nurse." no more animaniacs for me >.<
this song does make you do those silly faces these three guys are doing :D
"It doesn't matter what your ailment is
It may be gout, it may be rheumatis -
I know the very, very best cure
It beats a diet or a rest cure..."
Does anyone know the lyrics?
The song's so catchy. Music from the 1920s-1950s is my thing. I hate the rap crap of today.
What a dish!
Göttin !!!!
happy new year
100% agree
Give me some skin, jackson! Like bees to honey in a hive, gettin well with nurse's jive! Ya pickin up on what I'm puttin down?! a hep singer for sure.
attractive !
what a woman!
Geesh women dont dress or look like anymore,
Always loved a woman who wore her hair like Martha
If I had 3 sons and a daughter I will show them this video and tell them if they can duplicate this performance they will each get a large allowance - This is classic
I need the lyrics of this song!
"Jive," by the way, also meant marijuana. Listen to "All the Jive is Gone" by the Andy Kirk Orchestra.
That generation had Martha Tilton. We have Lady Gaga. That generation wins.
Dan French You are experiencing The Decline of everything that was hip about music. Golly, I am so sorry for you. Try listening to some Basie with Jimmy Rushing or perhaps The King Cole Trio. You never know. You may have some hidden soul inside, somewhere.
Plus that generation has Helen O'Connell, and we have Miley Cyrus, so they are leading 2-zip.
BixLives32 I know she's not original or brilliant, I just said she has a good voice, which is true. And anyway I don't see her as a decline as she isn't popular anymore besides. I like to keep an open mind about most things, I like lots of different music from different eras - one of my favourite albums is Fleetwood macs rumors.

3bar Aw that made me smile...I SO agree.
That dude is crip walking at the 2:03 mark!
ART DECO DOOR at 0:30-0:35! Severe.
@sleedolfine15 agreed!!!!
Is this a "soundie"? I know that soundies were popular during the early 1940's.
Ladies: please take note of :20-:24. THIS is how you enter a room. That was so the DAAAMN!!! factor. :-)
Though this song seems to be about music and that's all, "jive" could = marijuana in 1930s slang -- as in "Here Comes The Man With The Jive: by Cab Calloway,.
I must have missed something. What is un-p.c. about it?
wait a second. she sounds like a white ella fitzgerald. very interesting and amazing!
(Please pardon my British) I thought as though it was the top-one. Not too mental was it? (P.C. dead on) Anyway the song is tickety-boo. And Martha is always beautiful. PAX? to you too mate.
Black IS beautiful, so, most definitely is Martha!
Hot woman !
Is it just me or did the first two guys do a crip walk? Lol good song, though!
@supper15fiets english is HARD!
@jhhwingnut hahaha!
better dance haha
is that spencer tracy ?
No, but it does look a lot like him.
and swell. don't forget swell.
@supper15fiets um... how are women artifical now? what makes a woman a real woman? i find this comment very offensive.
Martha's a babe!
hello nurse (from the animaniacs)
Has the guy in the blanket in the chair been lobotomised? Is that his ailment. Jive won't help him.
It's a diagnostic test. If he doesn't he's obviously suffered severe brain stem trauma.
This is an old song about smoking weed, like all of those other old songs about "jive."
when woman where real woman!
the music is better then dubstep and the dancers are a lot better then "Shufflers", wtf has happened to music and entertainment!?!?! -.-'
@73380401 that's not a real nurse. that's an actress acting as a nurse, wearing a costume. nurses are there to look after the sick, not to aesthetically please your eye. it's not their job to "have beautiful smiles".
