Funky and groovy tunes from one of Germany's greatest easy artists! James Last wasn't ever super-huge over here – but in Europe during the late 60s and early 70s, he sold records by the bucketful – and for good reason! Last took the German's love of electric bass in easy instrumental albums – pumped it up even more than usual, added in a talent for brassy finish and a flourish for the electric solo, and took easy and pop instrumental grooves way into the 70s.

James Last is a German big band leader with a large fan base in Europe, although he has never had a comparable following in the United States. Last's trademark is arranging pop hits in a big-band style; his series of "party albums" is equally well-known. Over the course of his career, he has sold well over 50 million albums.

This story, possibly the most famous of all American tales (its very title has become a catchphrase), was largely envisioned in this version by a European: Maurice Tourneur. Yes, some filmbuffs like to think the American co-director, Clarence Brown, more responsible for the movie's quality; even Brown himself (after Tourneur's death) claimed he filmed most of it. This is a hard claim to believe because Tourneur, whose reputation was virtually second only to Griffith at the time, was the one who hired Brown, largely to shoot the outdoor scenes.
