Sunrise Serenade: Hooray for Hollywood

This morning's Sunrise Serenade was an old favorite of mine:  "Hooray for Hollywood," by Benny Goodman and His Orchestra from the 1937 Warner Bros. picture, Hollywood Hotel.  In addition to Benny, this song features Johnny "Scat" Davis, Francis Langford, Harry James and Gene Krupa.
