Here's my take on Victor Schertzinger and Johnny Mercer's 'Tangerine', recorded live at Mr. Vain. / mrvainbrisbane
'Tangerine' was written for the 1942 film 'The Fleet's In' (starring Dorothy Lamour, William Holden, Eddie Bracken, Cass Daley, and Betty Hutton). As one Mercer biographer noted: "Latin America, the one part of the world not engulfed in World War II, became a favorite topic for songs and films for Americans who wanted momentarily to forget about the conflagration."
Its most popular recording was made by Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly, who also recorded it for the film. It has also been recorded by Tony Bennett, Chet Baker, Harry Connick Jr., Vaughan Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Frances Langford, Ray Nance, and many others. I hope you enjoy it!
