@TaniaBarreraCastillo That's cause the fight was at the Sleepy Lagoon Bar, named for the song..... pachucos and sailors/marines..... bad time for all.....
Somehow, I cannot stop hitting the replay button....Thank you, the amazing Woody Allen, for introducing me to Harry James. If it wasn't for Annie Hall, I would not be here!
Awesome song...awesome arrangement...thanks for the post. Thanks to my late parents I was introduced "musically" to big band music and ballroom dancing. Good Lord, I can only hope that the young folks of today get introduced to it!...Tunesmith
Migosh, this brings back such memories of us dancing to Harry James at the Palisades and seeing him and his band at the Capitol and Paramount theatres. Those days may be gone, but will never be forgotten in my old heart.
Esta es una pieza que le gustaba mucho a mi Mamá que en paz descanse, ella fué contemporánea a este tipo de música, la de las Grandes Bandas como la de Glen Miller también. Bailó dicha msica en salón, y cuando la escucho, no deja de darme un poco de nostalgia. Gracias por subir esta bella canción. Luis Felipe Garrido M.
@adam5170 Actually, the music itself can be credited to Eric Coates and the lyrics to Jack Lawrence. However, this is still a very well-done cover of this song.
The original recording of ''Sleepy Lagoon'' by Harry James and His Orchestra hit no. 1 on the charts the third week in June 1942 -- and stayed in the no. 1 position for four consecutive weeks before being jiggled out by Kay Kyser's ''Jingle, Jangle, Jingle.''
@goback3spaces - I have to ask you if your answer to your riddle is either ''Radio Days'' or ''Hannah And Her Sister''?
I am thinking of ''Radio Days'' because Harry James' recording of ''The Flight Of The Bumblebee is used over the opening credits. This is my first guess.
I realize though that you could be thinking of a film named for Harry James' recording of ''You Made Me Love You'' -- a film in which I believe Woody Allen plays Mickey Sachs.
@PublicRadioWorldWide My answer was HANNAH, but now you've got me wondering whether I've mixed up "Sleepy Lagoon" with "You Made Me Love You." For the record, I'd rather listen to Harry than watch Woody. Actually saw Harry live and in person when I was a kid, in my hometown of Westfield, NJ. What a horn.

The last song my Gpa Bill played for me in 1992. I miss him and so glad he introduced Harry James to me as a child.

A resident in a retirement home introduced me to Harry James, and I'm so glad he did. What talent!

Trivia question: in which movie did Woody Allen cop a free ride from Harry James in the opening credits?
