And it don't love you.

Which is too bad, really. The history of the development of the big band, its origins with military brass bands and black musicians in New Orleans, its adoption of jazz and blues idioms, and its translation into the music of an era is fascinating. It's a listening journey that embraces everying from "Alexander's Rag Time Band" to "St. Louis Blues" to "Rhapsody in Blue" to "Sing, Sing, Sing" and so on. What's interesting is that in the very early days of rock'n'roll, the big band influence was pervasive. Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife" was a big band vocal arrangement in the best tradition of Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey. And it wasn't uncommon for big bands (Lawrence Welk, Percy Faith, Nelson Riddle, Horst Jankowski) to put hits in the Top 40 well into the '60s.

my dad, born in 1921, said that "sing sing sing" was his favorite hit song of his generation...he would have LOVED this version.

Yes!  I abhor Pandora.  Spotify is excellent for shear access to music and you can search for worthwhile playlists to subscribe to.

Fantastic.

If you think about it, the Benny Goodman version of this song was probably the "A Day in the Life" for it's time.

Isn't music like a reel-to-tape of our lives? And what I mean about our lives is a chronicle of feeling alive, not a deprecation of history. Moreover, I tried out and held a seat in my University's Jazz Band for five years, and so I can say with conviction that James Horners Bands's (or Benny Goodman's original) performance of this tune will never be equalled by ordinary mortals. Truly "god like".
 
Actually, Louis Prima wrote and recorded the original version of this tune, though the Goodman version is much more widely known.  I like all three versions.
