I went to a concert tonight that consisted of Schoolhouse Rock songs! I love Schoolhouse Rock! The people who came up with this concept are complete geniuses! I have seen kids sit and watch these videos entranced 30 years after they were produced! And, the music is amazing. I don't know if most people realize that the music was done by some of the best jazz musicians around. One of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock voices is Blossom Dearie. She was a very popular jazz singer who did all of the songs that have that sweet, angelic, child like, little girl's voice. Don't you just love her glasses! My favorite Blossom Dearie song is Number Eight. Blossom Dearie also did Unpack You Adjective which is probably one of her more popular songs.
I've fallen in love with a new version of Mr. Morton. This is such a great song both new and old! Does anyone know who sings the old version? He is in so many Schoolhouse Rock videos. I have to do a Google seach and find out what his name is.
The new version I love is by Skee Lo. It can be found on the CD of School House Rock covers called School House Rock Rocks!
If you're in a Schoolhouse Rock sort of mood you can get a Schoolhouse Rock t-shirt at Rockit Tees
