Music Monday - Song of the Nairobi Trio

 Having watched a lot of " What's My Line " on YouTube, I think it was evident that I would eventually watch an episode with Ernie Kovacs. Actually, I watched two episodes before I got curious enough to find out who was Ernie Kovacs . Seems my brain was getting him and Jerry Colonna mixed up. Dark hair. Moustaches. I thought Mr. Colonna smoked cigars,too. That would be a no. 

  Anyway, in my reading up on Mr. Kovacs I read about the Nairobi Trio. Edie Adams, his wife, and Jack Lemmon, best friend, would sometimes partake in the Nairobi Trio. The music was originally called ' Solfeggio ' by Robert Maxwell  and was released in 1953. This is the version that Mr. Kovacs used on his television series. The song was rereleased in 1957 with the permanent title ' Song of the Nairobi Trio '.
