Moonglow has been recorded over 570 times. I grew up listening to the Benny Goodman Quartet's (Goodman on clarinet, Teddy Wilson-piano, Lionel Hampton-vibraphone and Gene Krupa-drums) version. Here's a link for those interested: ruclips.net/video/03xs2wfD1JY/видео.html The quartet was one of the first racially integrated bands in the US. According to historian Thom Holmes, “Goodman was aware that being white gave him opportunities that evaded many of the best Black artists of the time. He was one of the first white bandleaders to add Black musicians to his orchestra.” Goodman used jazz to “help break down racial barriers in society.”
How fortunate we are today to have the technology to save, and restore if necessary, these old recordings. Great song! Today must be “Footle-Friday!” ❤️🤗🎉
@ Happy New Year to you, my friend! Can you believe January is half over already? Sometimes I come across an old recording that was once fuzzy and crackly, but has been remastered…the songs come out great! The technology is outstanding❣️
The Mills Brothers happens to be one of the Bee Gees favourite groups growing up. There’s a few photos of them together.❤
So perfect. Quietly delivering a passionate song. I like that bluesy guitar. It brings it up a notch.
What a lovely tune.
Reminds me of a lovely summer drive where you find a quiet spot somewhere and park and cuddle and canoodle. 🤗
