You must take the A train
To go sugar hill 'way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train
You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get on now it's coming
Listen to those rails a thrumming
All 'board get on the A train
Soon you will be on sugar hill in Harlem
To go sugar hill 'way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train
You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get on now it's coming
Listen to those rails a thrumming
All 'board get on the A train
Soon you will be on sugar hill in Harlem

The signature tune of Willis Conover's 'Voice of America Jazz Hour' back in the days of short wave radio.. Great to hear it on RP.

It kinda swings. don't it?
A suitable, if somewhat obvious, segue from Sir Duke to Duke Ellington. (Slow clap…)
This is why I love RP
As far as I can see, it is the first time RP plays this tune, it’ s a 8 for me, not less
The Duke on RP At last !
