Slim & Slam was a 1930s musical partnership formed by Bulee "Slim" Gaillard (vocals, guitar and piano) and Leroy Elliott "Slam" Stewart (bass). They produced novelty jazz numbers featuring Slim's distinctive vocal style with vocalese and scats, hipster argot and nonce words. Their biggest hits were "Flat Fleet Floogie (with a Floy Floy)", "Cement Mixer (Puti Puti)" and "The Groove Juice Special (Opera in Vout)". Trivia The song Tutti Frutti by Little Richard is loosely based on a Slim & Slam song with the same name.
