HAPPY NEW YEAR – 2010 ! – A Swingin’ Safari – Bert Kaempfert – Originally Recorded 1962, and Performed here by Denise Hewitt on Technics SX-PR903 Electronic Synthesiser Keyboard. The song was also recorded by Billy Vaughn and became a big hit on the US Charts. The song was used as the theme tune for the US Television Game Show – The Match Game – from 1962 to 1969. Most recently A Swingin’ Safari has been used as instrumental background music for television advertisements by the well known International Dutch Bank – ING Direct.

I’d like to wish ALL YouTubers, Friends & Fans a brilliant New Year, and an Awesome New Decade – 2010 – 2020:)

The photo in the opening Titles and closing Credits was shot by Denise in “Safari Country” on an Ostrich Farm just West of the Town of Oudsthoorn on Route 62 en-route to Calitzdorp in the Klein Karoo Region of South Africa.

I dedicate this recording to the memory of Bert Kaempfert – (born Berthold Kämpfert; 16th Oct 1923 21st June 1980). He was a musical genius – Composer and Band Leader – with a unique creative & compelling style!….
