However, the music won the Golden Globe for the best film song!

The arrangements came from the pen of Kaempfert&#8217;s friend and musical colleague Herbert Rehbein.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kaempfert.de\/en\/album\/a-man-could-get-killed-willkommen-mister-b\/\">Tracklisting<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra Silver Spot Records Katalog-Nr.: 1036008SSR EAN: 426026036008 5 Available for download from June 4th, 2021 In the early 1960s Bert Kaempfert produced some well-known film melodies.
