An excellent piece of work .I wonder why this kind of good composition has got wiped out.

Sorry MR. Kaempfert; but 200 years++++earlier, there was already a song with this tune: "La Bamba". La bamba is such a catchy tune that MANY have used its base to create their "own" music: Neil Diamond's "Cherry Cherry" and a lot more...

@vigrot because people these days have no taste what so ever!

@HunterMann The Troup number's the one you're talking about, and I'd say it was the first one "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66." The story goes that Troup (no "e") composed it while driving west to LA in 1946 (whether he was actually on Route 66, I don't know, but doesn't it make for a nice story?). Anyway, he credits his then-wife for leaning over and uttering the immortal phrase "get your kicks" while en route to LA. The TV show "Route 66" debuted in the fall of 1960.

@wannawatchu66 Great comment! Indeed, which came first, the Route 66 TV theme song or the Route 66 popular music hit by Bobby Troupe? I don't know, but the first version I ever heard was by Nat "King" Cole. He recorded a few versions. One ends with "on route sixty six" and the other ends with "on route six-six." Is that worth a cup of coffee? (if so, that'll be 4 bucks!)

@HunterMann Funny! You're talking about the Bobby Troup number, not the Nelson Riddle TV show theme?

@bvb7589 Great idea!!

 I prefer singing with live music, but sometimes when I'm on the road, I'll go into the hotel's lounge where they are having karaoke night. I'll request "Twist and Shout', but when I start to sing, I sing "La Bamba". Most people like the surprise. I also will request "The Girl From Ipanema", and then sing it in Brazilian Portugese(the original version). It's always interesting to see the reaction from an audience.
