Fats Waller wrote countless songs that are considered standards of jazz and blues, such as "Honeysuckle Rose," "I Got Rhythm," "The Joint is Jumpin'," "I Ain't Got Nobody," and the signature "Ain't Misbehavin'."
A member of the Songwriter Hall of Fame, his influence is still felt many years later. In the Fats Waller podcast, we travel back to the 1930s to hear how about his "intense" life as a writer and performer, and how he developed his "stride" style.
Music heard in this podcast:
