Musically, the “boogie” is described as “a repetitive, groove pattern (typically straight eighths) used in blues, originally played on piano” and became popular in the 1930s. The term, ‘boogie’ may have originated from ‘bogi’ used in Sierra Leone, meaning “to dance.” In any event, Hart’s arrangement of this 1946 Jack Fina title became popular again in the 1960s when it was recorded by “B.Bumble and the Stingers.”
