A pair of tap dancers do their moves on a pier overlooking the water. All these moves are set to the timeless swing band tune ‘Sing, Sing, Sing,’ first popularized by ‘The Benny Goodman Orchestra’ in 1937.
The infectious drum groove was played by drum legend Gene Krupa, who was known as ‘the founding father of the modern drumset.’ The drummer became the spotlight performer in ‘Sing, Sing, Sing,’ and Gene Krupa changed how band leaders wrote music for drums.
‘Sing, Sing, Sing’ was written by famous composer Louis Prima, who first recorded it with the ‘New Orleans Gang.’ The Benny Goodman recording from 1937 is the most famous rendition of the song.
