Can't resist Robbies contribution to swing music - Swing When You're Winning.

Gilly · 24 Feb 2006 at 21:46

I can swing better than Robbie

the_brainaic · 24 Feb 2006 at 21:49

Well, both the songs you mentioned are in his album - you might find some more that you like there. As for me, I can't resist Something Stupid.

Classic swing tune though

My fave swing song is Volare.
I believe it came second in the Eurovision Song Concert in about 1956 or something.
It was made famous by Dean Martin.

Gilly · 24 Feb 2006 at 22:14

Ohhhhh Volare, whooooaaaaa?

I think I have that somewhere by Deano himself

Good call, not heard it for ages.

Von Smallhausen · 24 Feb 2006 at 23:21

Well I like the original swing. I used to play for a swing band, playing great stuff by legends such as Budy Rich, Count Baisey and Duke Ellington.
