Dardanella

any story behind it?

first recorded in 1919 by Ben Selvin & His Orchestra

biggest selling record of the first 30 years of sound recording

it was the "Thriller" of 1920

now, it's mostly forgotten

Egad, you're from Turkey! It's about a maiden who lives in the Dardanelles!

True! Wonder how we (or better our children) will look back at todays hits in let's say 60 years from now.
