Eddy Duchin was born on this date. Very popular band leader in his day.

Louis Armstrong co wrote this song which has people questioning what they heard. It didn't hurt record sales

There's a name I've not heard in a while. Certainly a well-respected musician in his time.
Did not know Louis Armstrong was involved with that song.
You might enjoy this later version by the Manhattan Transfer!

Tyrone Power and Kim Novak starred in it. The music soundtrack was fantastic. The story was touching. I identified with Duchin's little boy. Kind of a bittersweet ending. If you ever have a chance to watch the movie - I recommend it.
