1949 HITS ARCHIVE: The Huckle-Buck - Frank Sinatra video free download
The Huckle-Buck (Alfred-Gibson) by Frank Sinatra with the Ken Lane Quintet, orchestra conducted by Axel Stordahl (CD audio source)
Amazingly, between mid-1947 (3 years before Mitch Miller) and early 1954, Sinatra saw only one (1) of his records reach the top 10 of Billboard's weekly best-selling singles charts. And it was this posted track...his version of the Paul Williams R&B hit "The Huckle-Buck," also covered successfully by Frank's old bandleader boss Tommy Dorsey.

This was one of 2 songs recorded by Frank on the evening of April 10, 1949. At 1:35, tenor saxophonist Herbie Haymer takes a brief R&B inspired solo (sounds a bit like Illinois Jacquet). Several hours later, on the way home from the studio, Haymer was killed in an auto accident, by a drunk driver, in Santa Monica. Yet another reminder to savor every moment, because it could all be gone in an instant...11 years ago
