Bert Kaempfert truly was a genius! To arrange and conduct all those different instruments in a way that's both cohesive and logical and yet making the listener engaged and excited at the same time! I also love how he makes background vocals an intricate part of the arrangement! It's one of his trademarks. Love this guy!!
I also grew up listening to the Swingin' Safari and the album by that name. In fact, I still have the album and sadly don't have a turntable anymore. Not to be daunted, I now have the CD and also downloads. That said, Bert Kaempfert surely seems to be having a blast conducting the orchestra. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd say he was faking it. But that was his style. Thanks to whoever uploaded this. I really wish I could see it in 1080. Thanks anyway.
091622/1422h PST 🇺🇸 ahhh the nostalgia….I, first heard Bert Kaempfert way back in 1967. I bought the 33.33 RPM from a secondhand shop in Bangalore, India. I, still have it and is played on my GRUNDIG, even now. After 55 years Bert , still lives in my heart. Life was great those days. But now………….? Thank you for publishing these great Orchestras….
I had not heard this one in fifty years but now I hear it again I remember it was played a lot in radios back then and I liked to hear it. Brings to me so many pleasant remembrances of my High School days.
Originally composed by the late Henry Mancini, who also composed other classic theme tunes such as Pink Panther and Moon River. Bert did a wonderful cover version of this.
Quien no recuerda el Paseo del Elefantito, aqui en una extraordinaria version del Maestro Bert y su siempre impecable y reconocida orquesta. Que buenos años aquellos... que no volveran!!
Wow, never heard this one! The GREAT "Fips" as he was lovingly called by his friends. I have been a BIG fan of the Bert Kaempfert since about 1965 when I was 15. Wish I could have this on DVD...
A brilliant arrangement,,, Love the orchestrated details - especially the Baby Elephant's 'squealing' its delight 1:01-1:05 😄🎶🎺🎶🔆 My mum had a few Kaempfert LPs,,, Many Thanks for posting this wonderful tune, Tomas!!
A wonderful unique Kaempfert rendition of this Mancini classic. I had four great Kaempfert LP's, but I am hearing this Kaempfert version for the first time. Thank you TH-cam and #tomaslapastilla
Unwiederbringlich! Schade, dass Fips uns so früh verlassen musste! Und ich sehe das wie Hansi Last, in Fips' Biographie: "..wenn Fips noch da wäre, der würde bestimmt noch heute riesen Erfolge feiern!"
Bert Kaempfert morreu aos 56 anos em 1980. Contudo suas características de uma condução de gestos leves, um ensaio de dança, ausência da batuta e o seu dedinho são fantásticos! Vale ressaltar o talento de sua orquestra escolhida a dedo, com grandes músicos, que eram renomes em cada instrumento. Ela tocava sem precisar de um maestro! Bert Kaempfert era apenas um lider!
👍 Thanks - that is a very unique way of conducting an Orchestra and I just love it! Job well done! I was enjoying every minute of it, also I like this music very much. ❤😊❤
Tony Fisher (trumpet, 2nd frm left) is the guy who created "The Bert Kaempfert Orchestra" to keep Bert's music alive, in cooperation with Bert's daughter Marion. As far as I know they released one CD so far ("Music of a Legend") but they've performed with the orchestra at several locations in the UK and in some other European countries.
Only now getting reintroduced to Bert Kaempfert .I never realized how many of his songs were used for shows and movies .That Happy Feeling was the Sandy Becker TV show theme; Swinging Safari was the theme for the match game ,this song The Elephant Walk was used in the movie Hatari with John Wayne
From the album "Safari Swings Again" (1977) which also includes some other famous standards like "Pata Pata" and "Sugar Bush". And ..... some fabulous Kaempfert originals of course, like "The Way I Love You" and "Walking with Fips". "Fips" was Bert's nickname.
MUITO lindo: é o "PASSO DO ELEFANTINHO"Fez muito sucesso no Brasil, com TRIO ESPERANÇA: o TRIO MAIS PERFEITO DO BRASIL, até hoje: eram CRIANÇAS LINDAS, e COMO CANTAVAM!!!! Tanto que depois EVINHA- a mais nova VIROU ESTRELA INTERNACIONAL!!!!TALENTO-BRASIL...
From the 1962 movie Hatari. Song composed by Henry Mancini. Billy Vaughn and his Orchestra also had a hit with it. Also the theme song of one of The TV Daytime Game Shows but don't remember which one. A TV Series based on the movie aired around 1963 called Daktari.
BERT KAEMPFERT MARAVILLOSA ORQUESTA SIEMPRE ADMIRE Y ADMIRO AL GRAN MAESTRO UNA MÚSICA INCONFUNDIBLE ELEGANTE ALEGRA EL ESPÍRITU ME ENCANTA 🙋👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🌟❤❤
Wish we could afford these good shows today instead of inane reality shows and sick programs.
Beautiful orchestra.
Absolutely wonderful! Timeless masterpieces.

That band is so together Bert only has to boogie a bit to keep them in sync. Love it!
Love love Bert K!!! Grew up listening to him.. My Dad was always playing his albums❤️❤️

My Parents had Him, and Arthur Fiddler
I grew up listening to this every Sunday. My dad was a big fan! Such great memories for me!
Was it in the hymn book 📕? 😁
Certainly. The Missive of Kaemfert!

Bert Kampfert is unique and brilliant...One of the greatest of all time
I had not heard this one in fifty years but now I hear it again I remember it was played a lot in radios back then and I liked to hear it. Brings to me so many pleasant remembrances of my High School days.
Great tune, originally composed by the late Henry Mancini
Den Titel habe ich als Rufton auf meinem Handy. Immer wieder gern.
I have Gentleman Jim (from Living It Up) like the mine (since many years ago, in 6 different mobile equipments).
Wow, this brings back some powerful memories from my youth. Really loved watching this. Appreciate you posting this.
Q lastima q musicos tan grandes no fueran eternos y q ahora su musica sea solo en el cielo, yo amo esa musica. Qepd. Bert Kaempert
Smooth, life was good then, you can't beat sheer class.
Absolutely nostalgic, heard after ages!!!
Excellent! A very classy version of this song! Well done!
A very classy, stylish version 👍👍👍
Bert Kaempfert is the best!!!
Anyone who says otherwise is the enemy and is to be treated as such.
Música espectacular y llena de alegría, la escuche en mi niñez y hoy mis hijos la escuchan. Gracias Bert Kaempfert y Orguesta .
never gets old brilliant
Je remonte 60 ans en arrière... merci !
Originally composed by the late Henry Mancini, who also composed other classic theme tunes such as Pink Panther and Moon River.
Bert did a wonderful cover version of this.
This was regularly played on "Family Favourites" on BBC Radio 2 on my childhood Sundays
Quien no recuerda el Paseo del Elefantito, aqui en una extraordinaria version del Maestro Bert y su siempre impecable y reconocida orquesta. Que buenos años aquellos... que no volveran!!
Das waren noch Zeiten schön.
¡Es magnífica y muy virtuosa interpretación !. Digna de elogio y muchos aplauzos. Saludarlos con sombrero en mano desde Quito Ecuador.
So loved Hatari - this was the theme song - movies about wildlife in Africa were the rage in the 1960s
In France this was "Daktari" with this famous Clarence….
I Have Heard Many People Play This Track Bert kampfert Has To Still Be My Old Time Favourite Love That Song Keep Up The Great Work Well Done ✅
era la musica que se escuchaba en mi casa, en mi infancia, y creci escuchandola...magnifica y maravillosa!!!
Still love Mr. K.'s. style of directing. At one point, he looked like he was swinging his trunk.
WHAT A BIG TIME GREAT WAY TO PLAY A LITTLE SONG AND CONVERT IT INTO A HIGH CLASS PERFORMANCE MUSIC, MR. KARMPFERT!
SEE YOU IN HEAVEN SIR.
I grew up listening to my dad's albums of Bert. I still love him now. Thanks for sharing
Wow, never heard this one! The GREAT "Fips" as he was lovingly called by his friends. I have been a BIG fan of the Bert Kaempfert since about 1965 when I was 15. Wish I could have this on DVD...

En los recreos y despues de almuerzo, escuchabamos a Bert, en la Escuela Normal de Copiapó. ¡Felices tiempos aquellos!
Kaempfert ist einfach ganz große Klasse. Danke für das Video.
Phantastisch der Kaempfert sound!
Danke fur ihre grosse music!
Unwiederbringlich!
Schade, dass Fips uns so früh verlassen musste!
Und ich sehe das wie Hansi Last, in Fips' Biographie:
"..wenn Fips noch da wäre, der würde bestimmt noch heute riesen Erfolge feiern!"
Schon meine Eltern waren von Bert Kaempfert begeistert, so wie ich und mein Zwillingsbruder auch.
Gorgeous
Damn Bert, you groovy man!

Bert knew how to take care of business didn't he? He had a world class bassist that made the difference.
Yes, he was the remembered, immortal and unequalable Ladi Geisler.
super!!!
Awesome!

Wanted to see more of the drummer as his artful skill added much mystery to the music being played. A handsome young man indeed.
