Begin The Beguine

by Artie Shaw
on Greatest Hits

Lyrics

When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory ever green.

It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory ever green.

Comments

If Shaw had recorded only Begin the Beguine his place in history would still have been secured.
There is no bad version of Begin The Beguine
God Bless Dick Johnson who led the band for many years! Memories of Dick playing this song one night in Newport, RI many years ago
If this song doesn't make you want to take your sweetie and just start dancin', then you should probably go home and lie down, because there's a good chance that you're dead. Easy to see, isn't it, how people can talk about dancing as "public foreplay." :-)
