Sultans of Swing Tune List--Big Band, Swing, Ballads, 2-beat

This is a selective list of tunes we play most frequently. If you don't see some of your favorites, ask us 4-6 weeks in advance. We have a large music library and usually can find the tunes. If we have some idea of a tune's tempo and style, we can usually play it as though we've been doing it for years... We have added many good tunes to our regular repertoire as a result of special requests. You may select enough tunes for the entire engagement (ca. 8-9 tunes per set), and even tell us what you hate; we'll go right down the list, mixing the tempos and styles as appropriate; unless you instruct us not to, we take guest requests.

I'll get by  
I'll never be the same  
I'll see you in my dreams

Very thought of you  

Way you look tonight  
We three  
We'll meet again  
We've only just begun  
What I did for love  
What a wonderful world  
What is this thing called love  
What more can I ask  
What's new  
When a woman loves a man  
When I fall in love  
When your lover has gone  
Where or when  
Woodchopper's ball  
Witchcraft  
Wrap your troubles in dreams  

Yesterday  
Yesterdays  
You brought a new kind of love to me  
You do something to me  
You made me love you  
You make me feel so young  
You turned the tables on me  
You'd be so nice to come home to  
Young at heart  

Zing went the strings of my heart
