Artist: Chaka Khan
Album: What Cha' Gonna Do For Me
Genre: R&B
- Songwriters: Dizzy Gillespie, Chaka Khan, Arif Mardin, Frank Paprelli
A long time ago in the 40's
Dizzy and bird gave us this song
They called it a night in Tunisia
And the melody still lingers on
It was new and very strange
Blew the squares right off the stage
Few could play along
The, the melody still lingers on
Max and miles to name just two
Together they grew
The music was young and strong
And the melody still lingers on
They paved the way for generations
From Coltrane to Stevie
No one could stop the winds of change
Without them where'd we be?
The Duke and the Prez were there before
The past you can't ignore
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame
And the melody remains the same
The Duke and the Prez were there before
The past you can't ignore
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame
And the melody remains the same
A long time ago in the 40's
Dizzy and bird gave us this song
They called it a night in Tunisia
And the melody still lingers on
In the 40's, a night in Tunisia
In the 40's, a night in Tunisia
In the 40's, a night in Tunisia
In the 40's, a night in Tunisia
