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.

[@rogeriolopes6297]

Beautiful orchestra.

[@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!!

[@andreasbless77]

Absolutely wonderful! Timeless masterpieces.

[@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.

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.

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

[@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.

[@shailendrakhot7551]

Absolutely nostalgic, heard after ages!!!

[@sreekumarUSA]

091622/1422h PST 🇺🇸 ahhh the nostalgia….I, first heard Bert Kaempfert way back in 1967. I bought the 33.33 RPM from a secondhand shop in Bangalore, India. 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….

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

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!

[@DERdingwerter1938]

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

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!"

Qué guapo era Bert Kaempfert! Un bombón! Más que dirigir bailaba frente a los músicos y qué sonido magnífico logró con su numerosa orquesta! Recuerdo Campos de algodón y Rosas rojas para una dama triste! Qué hermosos temas! Tenía ese "long play" y todos los temas eran buenísimos! Lo debí dejar transparente al disco de tanto escucharlo!

Quantas pessoas não ouviram esta canção, interpretada pelo TRIO ESPERANÇA entre 1962 a 1965? Vejam a nossa observação posta em "Afrikan Beat" e confirmem se as imagens que nos surgem enquanto a orquestra executa Baby Elephant Walk... Não é realmente a de um filhote de elevante acompanhando com seu corpo redondo, os passos de sua "mamãe"?

[@patriciaschuster1371]

Still love Mr. K.'s. style of directing. At one point, he looked like he was swinging his trunk.

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.

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
