Description:
First recorded by the Miller band in December 1941 and released early in 1942 on Bluebird 11401, this version was a 10 week best seller in the USA. This fine transcription from Alan Glasscock is written for a standard 5444 big band line-up, plus male vocal and 4-piece backing group (Ray Eberle & The Modernaires). We have scored the vocal lead and backing group 'as sung' by the Miller band, and Tex Beneke's solo is written out in full too. Both Altos double Clarinet and Baritone doubles on Alto. The vocal key is G.
