The Charleston - Roaring 20s!

[Schizopantheist]

Hey for Whiteman this is pretty interesting. Who's that guy sorta scatting there?

[PerfectWoman2]

Oh I can still remember 1928, I was a 25 year old girl listening to the latest charleston beats on my iPod, so full of life, dancing to this music everyday. Today music is so lame. Well i do watch a lot of porn... but that's another story...

cheerios folks

@PerfectWoman2 congratulations on being just about the oldest person in the world !

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

If you want to hear a modern, very fine recording of this in the original style, look on YouTube for Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester.

[BonnieC12]

the music reminds me of Disneyland :]

Possibly the Scat Singing is done by Austin "Skin" Young. Clarinet at 2:00 is Ross Gorman, w/Trumpet at 2:34 Henry Busse.

[fromthesidelines]

The song, composed by James P. Johnson, was originally featured in the 1923 Broadway musical, "Running Wild". Whiteman's version, one of his first "Orthophonic" (electrical) releases, was recorded on May 7, 1925 [Ferde Grofe wrote the arrangement]. Harry Barris was not a member of the Whiteman orchestra at the time (he didn't join Bing Crosby and Al Rinker, as "The Rhythm Boys", until early '27), so it's not his scat singing...

[Grouchy2day]

Paul Whiteman's version of the Charleston. I believe that's Harry Barris (he was one of the Rhythm Boys along with Al Rinker and Bing Crosby) doing the scat vocal throughout.
