Subject: RE: Obit: Elaine Stritch, July 17 (1925 - 2014)
Eileen Stritch made her Broadway debut in 1947, in "Angel in the Wings," wherein she introduced a song called "Civilization." This became an immense hit for Danny Kaye and the Andrews Sisters -- "Bingo, bango, bongo, I don't want to leave the Congo..."

Does anyone know if any recording of Ms. Stritch singing this song exists?
