Glad that he's still singing and performing. He'll be 99 this year! Go on, Herb!

Que delicia de musica, me encanta, me traslada a tiempos que sin haberlos vivido, escuchando a Duke me transporta a tiempos dorardos del jazz, blues, big band.... GENIAL !

@hootinouts: So did the public, generally. This one proved to be a big hit for the band.

fix the mp3, annoying squeek.

So unmistakeably Ellington. Herb Jeffries outdid himself on this. It is one of my favorites. Thank you for posting.

Jeffries did an incredible version of Flamingo that was even better than the original in the late 70's on one of the Merv Griffin produced specials featuring big band era singers that aired on PBS. I wonder if anybody has that and could upload it?

@avril2 Screw you man, SCREW YOU! Think before you speak. Herb Jefferies was one of the best vocalists of that time, you know that his singing is excellent and no one can sing like him. He is a living icon. Moral lesson to this: Think before you speak, you dumb unappreciative prick.

This song is beautiful, it is music to my ears, Duke Ellington is music to my ears.
Simply beautiful. What else can one say?

I love songs with exotic themes like this.
Flamingo, Poinciana, Bali Hai. Nothing today can compare to these gems.
