I Couldn’t Sleep a Wink Last Night was part of the soundtrack of the 1943 film Higher and Higher. It was recorded in Calcutta two years later by Chic Chocolate and his Music Makers and featured the band’s regular vocalist, Charles Sheppard.
This track is from the Marco Pacci collection.
I Couldn’t Sleep a Wink Last Night by CHIC & HIS MUSIC MAKERS by Taj Mahal Foxtrot
Gives a lovely feel of the times Chic’s harmonmuted trumpet leading the horn section and Sheppard’s voice iare reminiscent of Rudy Vallee’s band in the 30s
