I once had an old Rambler named Mildred ~after Mildred Bailey. She was a fabulous singer and I still love listening to her lovely voice.

@myrnaukelele I appreciate your good taste! Grtz, Aad

What a wonderful arrangement. Comments on the musical ideas of the melody, but keeps itself behind Mildred's vocal. Mitch Miller was a surprise for me as well. I listened to him in the 50s and 60s. I kind of regret the abandonment of the early 30s swing style, but this is certainly one enjoyable performance. Thanks!

@freescorepaul Thank you too Paul! I absolute agree with you...Mildred had here worldclass musicians in her orchestra. This arrangement is a class apart...very stylish and in a way risky, using 'chamber' instrumentalists to accompany "Mrs Swing"! Grtz, Aad

This is really beautiful Aads! I love how you are able to spotlight your pictures of Mildred, a very classy presentation. A really stellar video and a lovely arrangement of a classic Fred and Ginger song. Love your signature mirror effect too. So stylish and smart! I grew up watching Mitch Miller on tv and had no idea he went back to the 40s and played for the great Mildred Bailey! great notes too. Thank you for posting. Love it!
