Air Mail Special Lyrics


Left New York this morning early
Traveling south, so wide and high
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
It's that Air Mail Special on the flyListen to the motors humming
She is streaking through the sky
Like a bird that's flying homeward
It's that Air Mail Special on the flyOver plains and high dark mountains
Over rivers deep and wide
Carrying mail to California
It's that Air Mail Special on the flyWatch her circle for the landing
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
Now she's coming down the runway
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Benny Goodman led his first band in 1934 and began a few-month stint at Billy Rose's Music Hall, playing Fletcher Henderson's arrangements along with key band members Bunny Berigan and Gene Krupa . This gave it an accessibility that appealed to American audiences on a wide scale. America began to hear Benny 's band when he secured a weekly engagement for his band on NBC's radio show "Let's Dance," which was broadcast coast-to-coast. The new swing music had the kids dancing when, on August 19th, 1935, Benny's band played McFadden's Ballroom in Oakland, California.
