The King of Swing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very cool, thanks for posting this! I wonder if the title was a play on words derived from Claude Debussy's 1910 prelude titled The Maid With The Flaxen Hair (La fille aux cheveux de lin)?
I've got chills !
this is wonderful !
where do you find this stuff ? Another great one !
1953 and he still has it ! and you have great taste in music !
WOW ! WOW! and WOW again !
Feliz
I can’t believe I get the chance to play the clarinet for such an incredible and inspirational piece.
Inspiration For Goodman
I love this tune! And Bea Wain was absolutely gorgeous! It all fits together wonderfully!!!
:)
🙂
Time and again, I'm amazed at what Helen Forrest managed to do with songs set at unsuitable tempos for their lyrics. Mr Shaw's reluctant tolerance to having to field vocalists is well known, but probably had commercial credibility, as it was dancers who paid for the tickets in those days. That having been said, I could still listen to this over and over!
This must have been a real favourite of Artie's, recording it twice, and having it feature in a short, as well. I love the way the melody line never quite resolves itself, creating that delicious tension which runs throughout. Beautifully scored and performed.
This was the very first Fletcher Henderson record I ever heard, and it just blew me away! It still does, one you never get tired of hearing. Drives off the front foot all the way.
The like/view ratio on this video would put Nickelback to shame, and it's such a good song too.

Walking out of the gorgeous old Penn station like a god. Crossing 7 th avenue and entering into yet another grand place such as this one with everyone dressed at their best! It must have been quite an experience!
Stunning clarity on this recording - you can hear details in Dave Tough’s brilliant drumming that often are barely audible in recordings throughout his tragically short career (short relative to some of the other great drummers of the BB era who were able to continue performing into the 1970s-80s)
Me too
Thank goodness these tracks can be played today. Music that shames most of the rubbish played nowadays
Nulli secundus Bunny, nulli secundus ❤
Using the "Can You Take It" (1933) coda.
Love the clarinet riff at the end!
i'm carioca, play jazz and have no idea what's going on here 😅🤣 awesome.
A gorgeous "recreation" of Spivak's theme. Thanks for uploading.
Spivak’s son was a major airwaves presence in Philly in the 1970s and 1980s
Shorty. Roy screwed him
Cheerie Charlie!
I was offered a chance to work with Charlie's band in Greenville in the 80's, after he died. I turned it down because it was too far to drive from Columbia S.C.

E' un capolavoro
He was a distant cousin of mine. His Mother, Mildred Katz, was the Sister of my Grandmother, Helen Katz, who was my Father's(Marvin Pizer) Mother.
If anything Bunny's playing surpasses his reputation as one of very best trumpeters of the swing era.
Great number from a great album.
Such a great singer
Funny he wasn't initially a singer, But a pianist. Now he is mostly known for his spectacular voice.
My dad loved him.
That voice 🥰🥰🥰
Nat recorded 4 different versions of this song. The first two were a few months of each other in 1946. This version from 1953 was recorded with a full orchestra. Then, in 1961 he recorded it again, using a somewhat softer voice. There are unconfirmed rumors that he decided to record it again after realizing that black singers were by then respected by a majority of Americans, and wanted to see if it could get big. And it sure did, as that version is the most well known.
when music was music...not the noise it is today...bunches of notes all over the place without any sense
This a classic and a treasure of jazz!
Nice swinging version of this tune but I still prefer Dick Haymes’ record.
