I’m showing my age. This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. An all-time classic.

Fletcher Henderson & His Orchestra had a hit in 1936 with an earlier (but not the original) version of “Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)!” The lyrics make references to hits of the day, such as Riley & Farley’s “The Music Goes ‘Round and ‘Round” and Cab Calloway’s 1931 hit “Minnie the Moocher.” Listen to it here:

Oh, Golly!
I’m not in that generation but think “Sing,Sing,Sing” live from Carnegie Hall is the BEST swing EVAH!!!!!
