Song of the Day: Jeepers Creepers

The song of the day for Tuesday, December 13, 2016 is “Jeepers Creepers.”

About This Song

“Jeepers Creepers” was written by Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer for the 1938 movie Going Places, which featured Louis Armstrong as a trumpet-playing horse trainer. It has been recorded by Bing Crosby and, of course, Louis Armstrong.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Jeepers Creepers” with Count Basie and His Orchestra in 1959 for their album Basie/Bennett. The arrangement was done by Ralph Sharon.
