Composer

I believe my late father Allen Lloyd Harkins (1916-2004) wrote this song while he was a student at The College of the Pacific, (now University of the Pacific, UOP), in Stockton, California. He was a musician and later became a high school music director (Madera California Union High School) and thereafter, adjunct professor of music at Fresno State College, (now California State University at Fresno). I recall that UOP and the city of Stockton celebrated his writing of the song, and it has been common knowledge in Madera during his life that he wrote it.

I have long been struck with the melodic similarity between Tuxedo Junction and another 1940 hit "Shoo Shoo, Baby". Listen back to back to Glenn Miller's interpretation of TJ then The Andrews Sisters doing SSB (particularly the orchestral backing). My question is "Which came out first?"

Is there any point to this that I'm missing? --DSGalaktos (talk) 21:45, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

• No. There's no point. I removed the link. --Dystopos (talk) 16:57, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
