Memorable rendition of "St James Infirmary Blues" by Cab Calloway. Soundtrack includes excellent examples of musical cliches.
KS3 idea: The first half could be played as a stimulus for discussion about reasons why the soundtrack composer sometimes decorates the texture with quick notes, trills, flourishes etc.
