"It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" is a 1931 composition by #DukeEllington with lyrics by #IrvingMills. It is now accepted as a #jazzStandard, and jazz historian #GuntherSchuller characterized it as "now legendary" and "a prophetic piece and a prophetic title". In 2008, Ellington's 1932 recording of the song was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame.
