Louis Prima releases "Sing, Sing, Sing" 1936


Louis Prima wrote and recorded Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing) with the New Orleans Gang and released it on Brunswick Records February 28, 1936.  It has become synonymous with the big band and swing eras.

Benny Goodman recorded it in July 1937, which was 8 minutes and 43 seconds, which took up both sides of a 12" 78 rpm record.  His recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1982.
