Baby Elephant Walk - Nord C1 (Clavia) Hammond B-3 clonewheel


YouTube via rounder2u
"Here is my version of 'Baby Elephant Walk'.
Henry Mancini wrote the soundtrack for the 1962 movie 'Hatari'. Hatari means 'danger' in Swahili. The movie itself didn't perhaps became an enormous hit, but one song in the soundtrack did very well!
Mancini wrote a brief piece of incidental music to go with a scene where a baby elephant is taken for a walk. The little song became an international hit as 'Baby Elephant Walk', and has been recorded by a large number of artists and in many different styles.
Congo, the baby elephant in the filming, died in November 2000 at the Dubbo Zoo in Australia.

This is an easy-going song. For a bit of contrast I added some fire in the two solo choruses :-)

The organ is a Clavia Nord C1 - a Hammond B-3 clonewheel organ.
