ROUTE 66 composed by Bobby Troup <br />Arranged for voice and Guitar by Walter Abt <br />Score and guitar TAB as printable PDF download <br />The composition was written in 1946 by American musician Bobby Troup. The idea came about <br />when he was driving with his first wife, Cynthia, to Los Angeles from Pennsylvania. Traup <br />went to California to try his luck as a Hollywood songwriter. <br />The couple got into a 1941 Buick and drove onto Highway 40. It was this highway that Bobby <br />wanted to dedicate the future composition to, but then Cynthia prompted him to switch to <br />Highway 66. <br />Troup recalled that the song’s melody and the phrase “get your kicks on Route 66” were born <br />very quickly, but the rest of the lyrics had to suffer pretty much. Bobby composed them <br />throughout the ten days of the trip, mentioning most of the cities they stopped in. <br />Route 66 Song Artists <br />Route 66 was first recorded by Nat King Cole. His record, published in 1946, hit the Billboard <br />charts and became a major hit. The arrangement of Walter Abt offers a version for voice/ guitar, <br />and a further one for solo guitar, also in TAB.<br /><br />Subscribe now and never miss a video: http://bit.ly/1C1KlDZ<br />Find the most beautiful pages of classical music on ClassicalExperience.
