Bert Kaempfert - Baby Elephant Walk

A live performance by Bert Kaempfert and his orchestra of Henry Mancini's famous tune.

[@patriciaschuster1371]

Wish we could afford these good shows today instead of inane reality shows and sick programs.

[@johnlargan6045]

Bert Kaempfert truly was a genius! To arrange and conduct all those different instruments in a way that's both cohesive and logical and yet making the listener engaged and excited at the same time! I also love how he makes background vocals an intricate part of the arrangement! It's one of his trademarks. Love this guy!!

[@PP-hs3ep]

I grew up listening to this every Sunday. My dad was a big fan! Such great memories for me!

[@glennso47]

Was it in the hymn book 📕? 😁

[@patriciaschuster1371]

Certainly. The Missive of Kaemfert!

[@tarunsangeet6816]

I also grew up listening to the Swingin' Safari and the album by that name. In fact, I still have the album and sadly don't have a turntable anymore. Not to be daunted, I now have the CD and also downloads. That said, Bert Kaempfert surely seems to be having a blast conducting the orchestra. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd say he was faking it. But that was his style. Thanks to whoever uploaded this. I really wish I could see it in 1080. Thanks anyway.

[@jmrodas9]

I had not heard this one in fifty years but now I hear it again I remember it was played a lot in radios back then and I liked to hear it. Brings to me so many pleasant remembrances of my High School days.

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

Great tune, originally composed by the late Henry Mancini

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

Originally composed by the late Henry Mancini, who also composed other classic theme tunes such as Pink Panther and Moon River. Bert did a wonderful cover version of this.

[@arthurgrimes2463]

Excellent! A very classy version of this song! Well done!

[@rasputin4u1]

Bert Kampfert is unique and brilliant...One of the greatest of all time

Wow, this brings back some powerful memories from my youth. Really loved watching this. Appreciate you posting this.

Q lastima q musicos tan grandes no fueran eternos y q ahora su musica sea solo en el cielo, yo amo esa musica. Qepd. Bert Kaempert

[@leonmare1]

Wow, never heard this one! The GREAT "Fips" as he was lovingly called by his friends. I have been a BIG fan of the Bert Kaempfert since about 1965 when I was 15. Wish I could have this on DVD...

[@joseverde9554]

Me too.

[@neelalingam7303]

era la musica que se escuchaba en mi casa, en mi infancia, y creci escuchandola...magnifica y maravillosa!!!

[@Darrigrande]

Incredible the Kaempfert sound!

[@VisdommeVictor]

Waldemar, the trombonist furthest away is still alive. Was at a golden wedding with him a few weeks ago. I think he is 89 years old.

[@matthewworyn3256]

What was Waldemar's last name?

[@michaeld7409]

Relaxing, yet never dull. Enjoyed Bert Kaempfert’s sound since i was a lad.

[@DERdingwerter1938]

Kaempfert ist einfach ganz große Klasse. Danke für das Video.

[@Darrigrande]

Phantastisch der Kaempfert sound!

[@louisjansen334]

Danke fur ihre grosse music!

[@christianschlieper7856]

Unwiederbringlich! Schade, dass Fips uns so früh verlassen musste! Und ich sehe das wie Hansi Last, in Fips' Biographie: "..wenn Fips noch da wäre, der würde bestimmt noch heute riesen Erfolge feiern!"

[@kunstkennerfahr5024]

Schon meine Eltern waren von Bert Kaempfert begeistert, so wie ich und mein Zwillingsbruder auch.

[@seeolfreeloader]

So loved Hatari - this was the theme song - movies about wildlife in Africa were the rage in the 1960s

[@bobduvar]

In France this was "Daktari" with this famous Clarence….

[@psw4763]

This was played on the movie Hatari with John Wayne. Great song

I, still have it and is played on my GRUNDIG, even now. After 55 years Bert , still lives in my heart. Life was great those days. But now………….? Thank you for publishing these great Orchestras….

Bert Kaempfert morreu aos 56 anos em 1980. Contudo suas características de uma condução de gestos leves, um ensaio de dança, ausência da batuta e o seu dedinho são fantásticos! Vale ressaltar o talento de sua orquestra escolhida a dedo, com grandes músicos, que eram renomes em cada instrumento. Ela tocava sem precisar de um maestro! Bert Kaempfert era apenas um lider!

[@joaotakanorijamjao1312]

MUITO lindo: é o "PASSO DO ELEFANTINHO"Fez muito sucesso no Brasil, com TRIO ESPERANÇA: o TRIO MAIS PERFEITO DO BRASIL, até hoje: eram CRIANÇAS LINDAS, e COMO CANTAVAM!!!! Tanto que depois EVINHA- a mais nova VIROU ESTRELA INTERNACIONAL!!!!TALENTO-BRASIL...

A wonderful unique Kaempfert rendition of this Mancini classic. I had four great Kaempfert LP's, but I am hearing this Kaempfert version for the first time. Thank you KZbin and #tomaslapastilla

[@dugroz]

The conducting technique known as "just groovin'"

[@Socratess2007]

From the album "Safari Swings Again" (1977) which also includes some other famous standards like "Pata Pata" and "Sugar Bush". And ..... some fabulous Kaempfert originals of course, like "The Way I Love You" and "Walking with Fips". "Fips" was Bert's nickname.

[@MrSmallpoxSatan]

He is truly great 👍

[@radlharald]

Bert Kaempfert is the best!!!

From the 1962 movie Hatari. Song composed by Henry Mancini. Billy Vaughn and his Orchestra also had a hit with it. Also the theme song of one of The TV Daytime Game Shows but don't remember which one. A TV Series based on the movie aired around 1963 called Daktari.

[@eugenedegeorge5084]

Only now getting reintroduced to Bert Kaempfert .I never realized how many of his songs were used for shows and movies .That Happy Feeling was the Sandy Becker TV show theme; Swinging Safari was the theme for the match game ,this song The Elephant Walk was used in the movie Hatari with John Wayne

Tony Fisher (trumpet, 2nd frm left) is the guy who created "The Bert Kaempfert Orchestra" to keep Bert's music alive, in cooperation with Bert's daughter Marion. As far as I know they released one CD so far ("Music of a Legend") but they've performed with the orchestra at several locations in the UK and in some other European countries.
