STEPPIN PRETTY
A Kaempfert-Rehbein composition written for the album "Love That Bert Kaempfert".
Marc Secara recently released a version with lyrics under the title "I'm Gonna Walk Out" (cfr "Secara Meets Kaempfert").

MHO
"Classic" Bert Kaempfert song in which Bert further explores the possibilities of his "percussive brass", which, combined with this particular rhythm, evokes images of "Steppin' Pretty" indeed. The fact that Marc Secara (German vocalist) recently chose - among other BK classics - this tune as the basis for his song "I'm Gonna Walk Out", proves that Bert's music is of all times and that it has duly stood the test of time.
Enjoy this, yet another masterpiece, by the European "father of easy listening", Mr Bert Kaempfert !
