Recently I attended a Paul Simon concert. What I’ve appreciated about his music are the many styles he’s brought to the table, especially in his Graceland album. After going to his concert, I started researching some of the bands that inspired him. In learning about the Boyoyo Boys, I stumbled across a great track called “Baby are Yeng” by Nancy Jacobs and Her Sisters. The song glorifies the youthful lifestyle in Prohibition era Chicago. Nancy Jacob’s voice seems to echo a bit of The Andrews Sisters singing “Rum And Coca Cola” or Millie Smalls singing “My Boy Lollipop” the first Ska song that ever saw any popularity in the US.
