Why Don't You Do Right

While this song is usually associated with Peggy Lee and the Benny Goodman band, this Julie London version is a refreshing alternative. It suits a singer who has a sultry, laid-back vocal approach. The band backings are scored to give good support to the vocalist and the band itself takes an eight-measure ensemble passage in between the vocal choruses. The brass ranges are moderate and there are no saxophone doubles. The vocal key is B-flat minor throughout.
