Don't you know that I danced, I danced till a quarter to three, With the help last night of Daddy "G". He was swinging on the sax like a-nobody could, And was dancing all over the room. Oh, don't you know the people were dancing were mad. It was the swingingest band they had ever had. It was the swingingest song that could ever be. It was a night with Daddy "G" Let me tell you now, I never had to so good, Yeah, and I know you never could Until you get hit with that jive and take a band Like the Church Street Five. Oh don't you know that I danced, I danced till a quarter to three With the help last night of Daddy "G". Everybody was as happy as they could be And they were swing with Daddy "G". Blow Daddy.

Brief biography courtesy of Wikipedia
Gary "U.S." Bonds (born Gary Anderson, 6 June 1939) is an American rhythm and blues and rock and roll singer. He is also a prolific songwriter. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Bonds was living in Norfolk, Virginia in the 1950s when he began singing publicly in church, and with a group called The Turks. He joined record producer Frank Guida's small Legrand record label and Guida changed Andersons name to U.S. Bonds in hope that it would be confused with a public service announcement advertising the sale of government bonds and thus get more airplay. Bonds' first hit was the song "New Orleans", which was followed by "Not Me", a flop for Bonds, but later a hit for The Orlons, and then by his only Number One hit, "Quarter To Three" in June 1961. Subsequent hits, under the name Gary (U.S.) Bonds, included "School Is Out", "Dear Lady Twist", "School Is In" and "Twist, Twist, Senora" in the early 1960s. In a 1963 tour of Europe, he headlined above The Beatles. Eventually, the singer came to be known as Gary U.S. Bonds. "Quarter To Three" appears on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. In the early 1980s, Bonds had a career resurgence, working off collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, and the E Street Band. Later hits included "This Little Girl", "JolŽ Blon" and "Out Of Work". Bonds continues to release albums sporadically, and today is a mainstay of the nostalgia concert circuit. While Gary U.S. Bonds is mostly known for achievements within rhythm and blues and rock and roll, he often transcends these genres, e.g. he has been nominated for the Country Music Association's "Songwriter of the Year" distinction. He is also a honoree of the Rhythm & Blues Foundation. Bonds is an accomplished golfer and often plays celebrity PGA Tour events. He was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame on 15 October 2006.
