How I wish someone would record a new album of the Bert Kaempfurt songbook. So many great songs. And The Rare Monro introduced me to The Lady Smiles, which I love. Who knows how many great Kaempfurt songs are waiting to be discovered.

I cannot think of anyone apart from JM who recorded a Kaempfert Album--it is one of a 2 album set.

Quite difficult to get hold of these days. Not available on cd.

I love this song too - I believe the BBC used this song during their coverage of the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo :) the singer was tragically killed in a plane crash in 1985 (over 500 on board the Boeing flight perished) aged just 44.........he had a very pretty wife and two young children -
