the end of an era. listen carefully to the orchestra: tight, yet loose to create the music soul. nothing like this today, and maybe gone with the wind.
For those who are interested, here are the lyrics to this song, which was also Tommy Dorsey's hit in 1943 Oh! baby, I'm racking' my brain, to think of a name To give to this tune, so Perry can croon And maybe old bing will give it a fling And that'll start everyone humming' the thing The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat But if you can swing, it's got a good beat And that's the main thing, to make it complete 'Cause everyone's swinging' today So we call it opus one, it's not for Sammy, Kaye, hey, hey, hey It's Opus one, it's got to swing, not sway, baby If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned And Ray Anthony could rock it for me There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out Whenever you get near opus one

Thank you for posting this!
They always made singing sound so natural and effortless, from ballads to rhythm songs like this. Greatest group ever!
The best! Heard this while traveling through the Ozarks in Arkansas, in the summer of 2002!
For those who are interested, here are the lyrics to this song, which was also Tommy Dorsey's hit in 1943
Oh! baby, I'm racking' my brain, to think of a name
To give to this tune, so Perry can croon
And maybe old bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone humming' the thing
The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing, to make it complete
'Cause everyone's swinging' today
So we call it opus one, it's not for Sammy, Kaye, hey, hey, hey
It's Opus one, it's got to swing, not sway, baby
If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony could rock it for me
There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
Whenever you get near opus one
Classic!
