This is the
original recording of Murphy’s arrangement on “Mack the Knife”. The single
brought “Satchmo” back in the charts after a break of over three years, as his
previous chart entry was “Takes Two to Tango” in 1952 (US #19, UK #6).
The most
famous / successful cover of the song was posted here earlier in the blog.
