"Memories of You" was first performed by Benn Goodman with Lionel Hampton and Charlie Christian in 1939.

Goodman's creative legacy includes a huge number of discs and records, recorded mainly in the 1930s and 1940s by Columbia and RCA Victor. In addition, there is a series of discs from Goodman's personal archive, released by Music Masters, and various individual recordings. These recordings confirm the fact of Goodman's extraordinary performing and conducting talent.

In the 1930s, the popularity of jazz music in the United States was off the charts. One episode from the musical life of Benn Goodman: In the Savoy dance hall, which was usually visited by people of color, “Battles of the Jazz Bands” were held at that time, where the orchestra of the black jazzman, virtuoso drummer Chick Webb often prevailed over their rivals. Feeling on top, Goodman, as a representative of white jazz, challenges Chick Webb.

The public received the “duel” enthusiastically. Despite all the coherence and virtuosity of the playing of the musicians of the Goodman orchestra, Chick Webb's orchestra was inaccessible that evening.

The city is full of posters about the upcoming musical duel, referred to in the press as the “duel of the century.” And so, on the appointed evening, the Savoy dance hall, which can accommodate four thousand listeners, is packed, another five thousand crowd on the street, not wanting to disperse and still hoping to get inside.
