“We kiss and the angels sing….” (We. Pg.1) such was the power of the words of a man called Benny Goodman. In his career which spanned 50 years, Benny made an impact on the world of music unlike anyone else before him. He received titles such as “King of Swing” but had to share/dispute over “The best clarinet player in the world” with another musician. He was in sense a musician’s musician, a man who allowed music to rule his life and define who and what he was.
