“Tampico” became a monster hit for the Stan Kenton orchestra in 1945. It’s catchy, having a vigorous band vocal which makes even the audience want to sing-a-long. Add to this the attractive vocals by the resident canary June Christy and you have what amounts to an irresistible and endearing performance from Stan Kenton of a song extolling the virtues of the tourist trade in Mexico–Tampico, to be exact!
