Benny Goodman, born Benjamin David Goodman, (1909-05-30 – 1986-06-13) was a famous jazzmusician, known as "King of Swing", "Patriarch of the Clarinet", and "Swing's Senior Statesman". Many suggest that Goodman achieved the same success with jazz and swing that Elvis Presley did with rock and roll. Both helped bring black music to a young, white audience. It is true that many of Goodman's arrangements had been played for years before by Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra. While Goodman publicly acknowledged his debt to Henderson, many young white swing fans had never heard Henderson's band.

Benny Goodman
GOODY GOODY
Benny Goodman
So you met someone who set you back on your heels - goody goody
So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody goody
So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do
So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night - goody goody
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite -
Hooray and hallelujah, you had it coming to ya
Goody goody for him - goody goody for me -
And I hope you're satisfied you rascal you!
