Rap Tap On Wood - Stereo - Born To Dance - Eleanor Powell - Cole Porter

Here's the stereo track for this Cole Porter song. I would guess that the deleted section was filmed, since taps are always post-dubbed and wouldn't be in the mix had it not been filmed.

Una Merkel introduces Eleanor, who is assisted by The Foursome: Del Porter, L. Marshall Smith, Ray Johnson, and Dwight Snyder.

Marjorie Lane sings for Eleanor.

The sound quality of the orchestra is just amazing. Any idea who did the orchestrations? Robert Russell Bennett maybe?

IMDB says it was Edward B. Powell, who also orchestrated "Broadway Melody of 1940".

A most excellent job of synching that! I've never heard that deleted section before (nor the stereo version). Thank you very much for uploading!
