From the movie "Sun Valley Serenade". This production number appeared near the end of the film as Glenn Miller and his band backed up Dorothy Dandridge's vocals while the fabulous Nicholas Brothers danced and tapped their way across the screen.
This song, along with "I Know Why" both became smash hits for Harry Warren and Mack Gordon, with "CHATTANOOGA CHOO-CHOO" in the number 1 position of the charts for 9 weeks.
