Forget your troubles and just get happy,
you better chase all your cares away.
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy,
get ready for the Judgment Day.
The sun is shining, come on get happy,
the Lord is waiting to take your hand.
Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy,
we're going to the promised land.
We're heading 'cross the river,
wash your sins 'way in the tide.
It's so peaceful on the other side.

Get Happy
Artist: Candye Kane
Album: The Toughest Girl Alive
Song Length: 2:06
George's Thoughts: A completely delightful adaptation of this old southern gospel classic, with smooth jazz vocals and a great swing band background. Perfect for Quickstep. I'm always pleased to see young singers take on the old classics, especially when they can do it as well as Candye Kane does here. An instrumental version by the Ted Heath Orchestra is available on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 5."
