I heard the great clarinetist Artie Shaw as a kid and I knew that his smash hit Dancing In The Dark was recorded prior to WWII. I also know that Arthur Schwartz had a lot to do with the tune (he wrote it). Johnathon Schwartz, his son has been on the radio in New York for a lot of years.

Thirty-seven musicians made this recording.

That's 34 more than a rapper and two people that can scream profanity and yell "ho". Plus one human.

Shaw could do a clarinet.
