Ain’t Misbehavin’ hits its stride at Drury Lane
When Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller died at 39 of pneumonia on December 15, 1943, while riding a train from LA to Chicago, he left behind a legacy as a popular singer, composer, and performing artist few have equalled. His formidable body of work includes 400 songs. The range of this music was remarkable; he could be silly (“Your Feet’s Too Big”), sexy (“Squeeze Me”), and sweet (“Honeysuckle Rose”), and still find room on his palette for sad, soulful, social commentary, as in “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue.” His tunes remain current and are still recorded by other artists, eighty years plus after his death. And his musical innovations, notably the Harlem Stride style, changed jazz.
