a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to
The leader is Carlos Di Sarli, 1947, with 83% of the 35 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.
1 more dance names this song but not which version, so no share counts it. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.
Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.
