Trummy Young
James "Trummy" Young (January 12, 1912 – September 10, 1984) was a trombonist in the swing era. Although he was never really a star or a bandleader himself, he did have one hit with his version of "Margie," which he played and sang with Jimmie Lunceford's orchestra in 1937 on the Decca Records label.
Biography
Growing up in Savannah, Georgia, and Richmond, Virginia, Young was originally a trumpeter, but by his professional debut in 1928, he had switched to trombone. From 1933 to 1937, Young was a member of Earl Hines' orchestra before joining Lunceford's orchestra, in which he played from 1937 to 1943. With Sy Oliver, he wrote "T'ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It)", a hit for both Lunceford and Ella Fitzgerald in 1939. It has since been recorded by many other artists and was a hit song in the UK for Fun Boy Three with Bananarama in 1982. His other compositions include "Margie", "Easy Does It", and "Trav'lin' Light"., (the latter co-written with Jimmy Mundy, with lyrics by Johnny Mercer).

You Are
by: DreamingYou are you are the thing I need
The one desire consuming me
You take me higher, I'm on my knees
You are you are the thing I need
You are the thing I need
You are the thing I need
You are you are the thing I love
You are you are the air I breathe
My one waking thought you haunt my dreams
You're both the cure and my disease
You are you are the thing I need
You are the thing I need
You are you are the thing I love
You are the thing I need
You are you are the thing I love
You are the thing I need
You are you are the thing I love
I need you more, more than I want you
And I want you more than anything on this earth
And I need you more than I want you
And I want you more than anything on this earth
You are you are the drug I crave
And you burn like fire through my veins
You cool my fever you soothe my pain
You are you are the thing I need
You are you are the thing I love
You are the thing I need
You are you are the thing I love
You are the thing I need
You are you are
(More than I want you)
You are you are
You are the thing I need
You are you are the thing I love
You are you are
You are the thing I need
You are you are
(More than I want you)
You are you are
You are The thing I need
You are the one thing I love
