A String Of Pearls
Benny Goodman & Benny Goodman and His Orchestra Lyrics
Savoy, the home of sweet romance
Savoy, it wins you with a glance
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance
Your old form just like a clinging vine
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine
How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
I'm never tired of romping
And stomping with you at the Savoy
What joy a perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide and sway
Savoy, let me stomp away with you
The home of sweet romance
It wins you at a glance
Gives happy feet a chance to dance
Just like a clinging vine
So soft and sweet as wine
So soft and close to mine, divine
How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
I'm never, never, never tired of romping
And stomping with you at the Savoy
What joy a perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide and sway
Savoy, let me stomp away with you
Savoy, it wins you with a glance
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance
Your old form just like a clinging vine
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine
How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
And stomping with you at the Savoy
What joy a perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide and sway
Savoy, let me stomp away with you
The home of sweet romance
It wins you at a glance
Gives happy feet a chance to dance
Just like a clinging vine
So soft and sweet as wine
So soft and close to mine, divine
How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
I'm never, never, never tired of romping
And stomping with you at the Savoy
What joy a perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide and sway
Savoy, let me stomp away with you

Although much less well known than the Glenn Miller version, Gray said that he preferred this version of his song.
Hungry Dragon Vs Frightend Hobbit
I've got an original 78 rpm record of this. It's a blast to listen to.

A much jazzier version then Millers. You know this is the music of The Greatest Generation that helped build the morale of our GI's and helped win WW2. When they had the recording strike from 42 to 44, even the War Department got involved, because it was hurting the morale of out troops.
Bob Leadbeater
Shortly after recording this Powell found himself in uniform playing the jerry Gray arrangement every night!

It's so tiresome that every time a jazzed-up version of a standard is presented, the armchair critics crawl our of their nests and rave about how much better it is simply because its louder and more up-tempo. It kind of defeats the purpose of exploring pre-rock music if you're only going to like vintage music that doesn't fall awkwardly on the ears of those who were raised during the Led Zeppelin generation. The fact of the matter is, the Miller version of "Sting Of Pearls" is better. It's a more musical arrangement, and it has Bobby Hackett's immortal cornet solo. The Goodman version is virtually forgotten, and for good reason.
