Memories Of You (Razaf-Blake) by The Benny Goodman Sextet - Goodman (clarinet), Lionel Hampton (vibes), Fletcher Henderson (piano), Charlie Christian (guitar), Arthur Bernstein (bass), Nick Fatool (drums)
You may recall that Benny played this familiar ballad more than once in the soundtrack of the largely fictitious (but popular) 1956 film “The Benny Goodman Story.” Eubie Blake and Andy Razaf had written it many years earlier for the revue “Blackbirds of 1930.”
