*"Goin' To Get 'Cha" is credited to Professor Stanley 'Fess' Williams.

Set to the progression of Nick LaRocca's "Tiger Rag", Fess Williams takes the jazz staple to new heights at his peak with wild saxophone embellishment. Originally organized in 1926 and disbanded in the early '30's, the "Royal Flush Orchestra" held residency at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom for much of its existence.
