Ballito Tango - Slender Silken Ankles - David Java & His Tango Orchestra (Advertising Record)


Playing Next: Bruce Springsteen Santa Claus is Coming Town
Random Page  /  Random Song


Here's a rather...unusual advertising disc made by Ballito to promote their stockings. They hired Annette Mills (who would later go on to present Muffin The Mule) to write a song about how a man was entranced by a woman's silken ankles. The flip is an instructional side - presented by Monsieur Pierre of the Regent Street School of Dancing. Pierre has the most outrageous French accent! I believe this was recorded in 1938 but confirmation would be appreciated.
