I'm not entirely sure about this one. The performance is well-known. It is colloquially/ usually called "The Sheik of Araby Cha Cha." It is also sometimes credited to "Enoch Light Orchestra" (or variations on that). It has also sometimes been credited to the "Charleston All Stars, but this may be in error because the performance by the "Charleston All Stars" (separately submitted) is not the same performance as the Enoch Light "cha cha" version.


The submission is the earliest release I've found, credited as found on that release.


Here's some other releases (which make it more confusing, in my view):
