This scene from the 1937 film “Hollywood Hotel” the “Benny Goodman Orchestra” perform a swingin’ number with Benny Goodman (clarinet), Harry James (trumpet), and Gene Krupa (drums).

*”Sing, Sing, Sing (With A Swing)” was written by Louis Prima in 1936.

Prima recorded with his “New Orleans Gang” in March of that year. His version containing lyrics was soon overshadowed by the instrumental cover versions by Fletcher Henderson and Benny Goodman.
