Stompin' at the Savoy - песня, посвященная знаменитому гарлемскому танцевальному залу Savoy. В Савойе не было разделения по цвету кожи, каждый вечер в нем собирались сотни черных и белых людей, чтобы потанцевать вместе.
Изначально Stompin' at the Savoy была написана для оркестра Чика Уэба, который чаще других играл для танцующих в Савойе. Позже ее исполняли Бэнни Гудмэн, Фрэнк Синатра и другие музыканты. На этой записи песня исполнена знаменитой джазовой певицой Maxine Sullivan.
Savoy, the home of sweet romance,
Savoy, it wins you with a glance,
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance.
Your old form just like a clinging vine,
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine,
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine.
How my heart is singing,
While the band is swinging,
I'm never tired of romping,
And stomping with you at the Savoy.
What joy - a perfect holiday,
Savoy, where we can glide and sway,
Savoy, let me stomp away with you; Stompin 'at the Savoy is a song dedicated to the famous Harlem dance hall Savoy. There was no skin color division in Savoy, hundreds of black and white people gathered every night to dance together.
