You Can’t Sit Down

This is my instrumental cover of “You Can’t Sit Down”. Originally an instrumental, it reached #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961 as performed by the Phil Upchurch Combo. In 1963, the Dovells released a vocal version which went to #3 on the charts. This is the version most of us (who are old enough) remember. The Ventures included a cover on their 1972 album, “Rock and Roll Forever”. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band frequently performed this live as an encore in their concerts starting in 1976.
