Belle Baker - Baby Your Mother

[Gydinglight12]

In the book The Night They Raided Minskys' the author noted that whenever a burlesque show was raided by the vice cops in the 20s, during the chaos a singer would come on stage and sing a song about Mother to try to calm things down. Maybe this one was one of those songs. Anyway it's good. Hurray for Belle.

Anita Marzano of CAPPY'S RESTAURANT in East Rockaway taught me this song- and many like it. I played the organ there in the 1950's. Anita would stand there and sing those "tearjerker" sons to me 'till i learned them... and there were many. Like- "She's Lying Dead in the Baggage Coach Ahead".

Bob, I hope I remember this one for next Mother's Day to send to my e-mail friends. It is so beautiful.

I was thinking about re-doing this one.

She has a tear in her vice her like Al Jolson had - nicely done - a change of pace for a "tourch singer".............

Have you listened to MY KID by her on my page? It is another song similiar to this. She was the best female 20's singer there was in my opinion.
