When we were young, my sister and I had the 78 rpm record of this and we loved it! We played it so often, we must have worn it out.As I remember, the flipside was a song called "Gloomy Sunday". It was very sad, but we liked it too.

I saw Artie Shaw at the Arie Crown Theatre in Chicago in 1984, conducting the orchestra fronted by Dick Johnson. Wow. A legend from and era that I would have loved to have experienced in so many ways. Great music!!!

I believe that would be because although Goodman was an amazing clarinetist, he was quite self-centered(or so I have read). I think they are close to equal over all though.

My Mom always said she would rather dance than eat. This song was one of the reasons. She just died at 95.

The Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon. Are you ready? You can be! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Behold the Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon! Call upon the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be ready!

Hmm, I disagree, but kudos to you for being a Primus and Artie Shaw fan! ;)
