The route 66?!


Question:

The route 66?

who wrote the song? I know that many musitians performed it, but I do not know who wrote the lirics and the music?


Answers:

Bobby Troup wrote the song, and Nat King Cole recorded it, in 1946. The title was suggested by his wife, Cynthia Troup.

If you remember the TV show "Emergency!", Bobby Troup played Dr. Joe Early. Emergency! was produced by Jack Webb (Dragnet), and at that point Jack Webb had divorced Julie London and Bobby Troup had married her. (I guess that's one way to avoid alimony.)

Bobby Troup also played Gene Krupa in "The Tommy Dorsey Story".

The song was one of the first recorded by the Rolling Stones.

The Corvette that starred in the TV show wasn't introduced until the mid-1950s. The song had been popular for almost a decade at that point.
