Swinging With The Goon - Vincent Lopez & His Orchestra 

Yes the standards of musicianship always seem to be top notch across all of these dance bands. All pros and it shows.

Even the bands who weren't at the very top of the polls had great musicians and often a good sound, as here -- a far cry from today's pop scene. Caught Betty peckin' with the male vocalist at the end!

Look at 'em having fun!
