Ambrose and his Orchestra....Half Caste Women 1932

[syncopeter]

Love for sale was promptly redlined by the BBC. Orchestras were allowed to play the tune as long as the lyrics were only hummed. There was no better way of getting attention than a radio ban. Still is by the way.

Porter in the U.S and Coward in the U.K were advocates of free speech, constantly seeking and passing the 'decency' margins in their lyrics.

The singer has to be Sam Browne.

Anna May Wong probably sang this often? Somewhat sad---yet songs have a way of seeing the future---and remembering the past---tragic---Victor/Los Angeles

I heard this back in the 80s (that's the 19- , not the 18- 80s), promptly fell in love with it but soon lost the tape (that's "audio," not "scotch").

And so, for posting this, BLESS you, dahling !

But the reason your name's been submitted for sainthood ( Saint DavidGlow III ... memorable, if a smidge "New Age-y" ) is your thoughtful inclusion of information which will help viewers ( who can read ) to put the song in it's proper context.

Hmmph ... HOOORS !!!!! WHO KNEW ????

@5tpxyyrk Thank you for your kind words.l do get abusive messages from time to time when anything in the info section does not agree with them,so it is refreshing to get a compliment

One of my favorites of his early 30s records! Thanks for the pleasure of hearing it again! Ambroses Band really captures a mood here! Been a big favorite of mine!! Great info too by the way. Noel Coward, such a wit! I have him doing a sketch on the Rudy Vallee show in 1933. Glad I discovered your channel. Wonderful nostalgia !
