Calcutta - Larry Welk!
“Calcutta” was and is a classic tune from the Welk era; and the Bobby/Barbara dance team should be rated up with Astaire/Rogers - B/B were not as elegant or smooth as A/R, but had some very fun moves with excellent timing.

I remember when Calcutta & Exodus traded places at #1 on WLS. Two great instrumentals back to back.

As long as we have gotten into the dance realm in city titles, how about the Queen of Taps, Eleanor Powell?

West Point Cadet

Although, I must say, I am a fan of Ann Miller myself. West Point Cadet was probably Eleanor Powell's best performance.

Bobby and Cissy (King) dance team..........I danced with Cissy, one time, in 2005 at a restaurant . I didn't step on her toes once, she was very gracious to allow me that one dance.

Actually, that was from Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man". Robert Preston performed it in the Movie version....and I believe also as part of the original Broadway cast.
