Benny Goodman
“The King Of Swing“, the man responsible for ushering in the Big Band Era. It’s hard to believe but Goodman almost broke up his band a few months before he finally made it big. A tough taskmaster, Benny was known for the famous “Ray”. Along with special guests Mel Torme, Si Zentner, and Mercer Ellington, you’ll hear three of Benny’s former vocalists, Peggy Lee, Martha Tilton, and Helen Forrest guide you through this special look at this great bandleader. Also included is a very rare vocal of Ella Fitzgerald singing with the Goodman orchestra.
