I take you on the way to Route 66 ! :-)) Have sung all voices.....Hope you enjoy my ride in the 50´s mood..... "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" is a popular rhythm and blues song, composed in 1946 by American songwriter Bobby Troup. The lyrics follow the path of U.S. Route 66 (US 66), which traversed the western two-thirds of the U.S. from Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles, California. The song became a standard, with several renditions appearing on the record charts. Nat King Cole, with the King Cole Trio, first recorded the song in 1946 at Radio Recorders in Los Angeles. The song has become a standard and has been recorded by numerous artists: • Bing Crosby with the Andrews Sisters recorded a version, which reached number 14 on the Billboard chart in 1946. • In 1964, the Rolling Stones included a version on their self-titled debut album. In a song review, critic Richie Unterberger called it "the most famous rock version of the song ... one of the best songs on the Rolling Stones' debut album, and one of their most popular in-concert numbers on their early tours". The group learned it from a version that Chuck Berry recorded for his 1961 album New Juke Box Hits, although Unterberger also notes that a version by Perry Como was a source for the lyrics.
