"Let Me off Uptown" is a song originally recorded by Gene Krupa and His Orchestra, along with vocals by Anita O'Day and a trumpet solo by Roy Eldridge. The song was among the hits the group had together during the 1940s, rising into the top-10 of the US pop chart in 1941. Written by Earl Bostic and Redd Evans, its lyrics describe the uptown Harlem neighborhood in New York City. The song has since been considered an example of racial integration in American music for featuring Eldridge (a black musician) alongside an all-white band.
