JIMMIE LUNCEFORD & HIS ORCHESTRA 

ON A LOVELY GOLD TOP PARLOPHONE 78


'TAINT WHAT YOU DO (IT'S THE WAY THAT YOU DO IT)

b/w  CHEATIN' ON ME

"'Tain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It)" is a song written by jazz musicians Melvin "Sy" Oliver and James "Trummy" Young. It was first recorded in 1939 not only by Jimmie Lunceford but also Harry James, and Ella Fitzgerald, and again the same year by Nat Gonella and His Georgians. 

The "shim sham" is typically danced to the Lunceford recording of this song.

Jimmie Lunceford's band differed from other great bands of the time because it was better known for its ensemble than for its solo work. Additionally, he was known for using a two-beat rhythm, called the Lunceford two-beat, as opposed to the standard four-beat rhythm. This distinctive "Lunceford style" was largely the result of the imaginative arrangements by trumpeter Sy Oliver, which set high standards for dance-band arrangers of the time.
