Bye Bye Blackbird
Artist: Southern Jazz
Album: There's No Place Like Home
Song Length: 2:16
George's Thoughts: Most versions of this great song are much too slow for Quickstep, some of them actually well suited to Slow Foxtrot! This Southern Jazz track is nice, but not quite fast enough for competition use. I've tried speeding it up and it transfers nicely to a higher tempo. Another version at regulation 51bpm is available on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 1," played by the Billy May Orchestra and also without vocals.
Song Lyrics:
Dance: Quickstep
Bars per Minute: 48
This song has slightly challenging tempo such as pauses in the music that might make it unsuitable for teaching situations or novice dancers.
Too slow for competition.
