Still one of the hippest American songs ever written.
In 1946, a married couple was heading West. The husband had dreams of being a songwriter and thought he might write a ditty about US 40. His wife fortunately suggested that he write a song called “Get Your Kicks On Route 66.”
Bobby Troupe’s song ended up becoming a Nat King Cole Classic. Later, Chuck Berry recorded it.
