Album Notes & Community Reviews
Propelled by an impossibly tight, boogie-woogie vocal arrangement, the B-side of this single adapted a Yiddish theatrical song into a massive, star-making swing hit. The flawless, rapidly firing harmonies demonstrated the trio's ability to infuse jazz syncopation into immensely accessible mainstream pop. The recording ignited a national craze and established the template for the commercial female vocal groups of the era.
