William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993)[1] was an American jazz and pop singer, and a bandleader of the swing era. He was noted for his rich, resonant, almost operatic bass-baritone
Before changing the spelling of his professional name from Eckstein to Eckstine, “Mister B” was building a fan base as vocalist with the Hines band, recording bestsellers like this one and “Stormy Monday Blues”
Jelly. Jelly
Hello baby, I had to call you on the phone
Hello baby, I had to call you on the phone
`Cause I feel so lonesome
And daddy wants his baby home
It's a down-right rotten,
Low down dirty shame
It's a down right rotten
low down dirty shame
The way that you're treatin' poor me
I know I'm not to blame
Jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind
Jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind
Jelly roll killed my pappy,
And wrung my mama stone blind.
