Mel Tormé made a smooth hit version in the 1940s, Elvis Presley put it on his first album in 1956 and The Marcels had a doo-wop hit with it in 1961, but 'An American Werewolf in London' was the first movie to associate this most romantic of songs with lycanthropy. This brand new arrangement by Simon Foxley and Christopher Hussey for SAB choir makes the evocative standard a welcome addition to the Novello Choral Pops series. / Choeur Mixte (SAB) Et Piano
