Stan Kenton and his band play the title song on when is supposed to be a cruise ship.
It's one of more than two thousand "soundies" produced between 1939 and 1947, meant to be played on a device called a Panoram. For seven years they could be found in bars, night clubs, and other places where people would gather. Think of them as music videos, available for viewing at a dime a song.
See if you can spot future MGM leads Lucille Bremer and Cyd Charisse among the dancers.
Kenton's orchestra produces a full sound, although I fund the song to be decent but not a winner. Well, even during the golden age of the big band, there had to be a few less-than-stellar tunes.
