Author: Bobby Troup
Label: Capitol
Year: 1946
Bobby Troup's own version of '56 feeds upon the same beatnik cool that inspired Jack Kerouac for On The Road ('57). Route 66 being ten years older shows how Bobby was ahead of his time. Also, he was married with Julie London and wrote The Girl Can't Help It (see there).
