(Level 4) Phil Wilson is the mastermind behind this piece. Les Harris, drummer for The Ritz, took this classic, added lyrics in the style of vocalese and handed it over to Sharon who arranged it for vocals, trying to preserve the excitement of the original version. Vocal groups will learn the elements of swing in this big band classic. SATB with rhythm section.
