Living it up

Bert Kaempfert was a German composer, arranger and big band leader. Together with Max Greger and James Last, he was one of the most successful post-World War II German orchestra leaders in mostly American nightclubs. His international breakthrough was in 1960, his absolute top with the song 'Strangers in the Night'.

Kaempfert's music had its own typical 'easy listening' sound. The 1962 LP 'A Swingin' Safari' featured several hits, including 'Living It Up', which became the title theme of the 1964 BRT serial 'Kapitein Zeppos'.
