"Yes, Sir! That's My Baby!" (Lee Morse, 1925)

[surfcityproductions]

This is absolutely wonderful! Oh, music was certainly music then.  Lee Morse was so extremely talented (and beautiful), and her music is ageless.

Thanks a million also for the link to LeeMorse.com. After hearing this musical treasure I've spent the entire night at that site listening to most of her other recordings. What an totally unexpected treat.

I'm so glad I discovered Lee Morse for the very first time! It's just a shame it took me so long.

[scarpellios]

wow, love this! she has me swooning!

[OctoberLandon]

Ya gotta love this one!!

[CONTAGIOUSXXCORE]

my client who has alzhiemers sings this alllll the time, i felt like i knew it before actually hearing it haha



[Suertsje]

ah, now I understand When Harry met Sally

[avdreader1]

This is great. One of my favorites from that era.

[BooppoopaDoop]

the complete opposite of Helen Kane and any other singing flapper of the 1920's, the deep voice really does Lee Morse well.

[Miiisena]

VERONA-Hey Boy :) look

[2ndOfficerCHL]

Love that deep, husky voice. And that sassy inflection. And those eyes and lips............I'll bet she was fun after dark.

[DogTotem]

I just acquired The Original Sound Of The Twenties with picture book. My wife saw the photo of Lee Morse on the album sized picture book (not the one you show) and said "she's beautiful!" Lee is currently sitting on the fireplace mantle.

[Markink]

... never too late! And always great fun to listen again ;-) because she 's absolutely gorgeous!

[utube19981]

[MrJaysync]

[kukenimunnen]

Thumbs up if you have jerked off to this song.

[Izdigger5]

@kukenimunnen

I'm not proud of it..

[MrSingOne]

Thank you for posting this great original. If only for the one weakness she'd be remembered for "Ten Cents a Dance". But at least we have your uploads. Thanks again.

[pharmakeus62]

She is wonderful

[reddorothy]

I used to live in Chile, and on the radio was a popular song "Quien es la que viene alli" sung by Los Tres... I started to sing part of it in front of my mom and she bust out laughing! then she sang "Yes sir, that's my Baby, no sir I don't mean maybe..." She said it was my Grandpa's favorite song. ^_^

[tropicalgoddess22]

i have to research 1925-1930 music what were popular songs back then?? someone please help me

[WildeNotesMusic]

Great to hear the verse too!

[Tetrisnes]

Now THIS is music :) I wish I lived back then. Music today sucks (well, most of it)

[JuliaH9595]

i could play this on the piano.

[redonian]

very funny, 85 year old stuff!!

[BerlinBo]

The birds of melancholy fly away when they hear the voice of Lee Morse.

[yolo22]

Great video! I wish the ratings weren't disabled so that I could give it five stars.

[TreblePop]

Oh man, this is great

[ianbollock]

Wow! That's funny when you compare this to Johnny Kidd & The Pirates version! I didn't know this was the original version.

[Jazsngr]

HA HA HA, my friend is directing a play called "A Wedding" by James Kirkpatrick (I think) and at one point the Groom says to the bride "All I wanted was a small wedding with the bride walking down the ailse to "Yes, Sir! That's My Baby!""

[thepantweaver]

@SarthanPrintess I'm reading "The Play About the Baby" by Edward Albee, and the Man and the Woman sing a version of this song.

[auditorytubetwo]

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?

Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

[Iskalla]

I'm just 20 and think Lee Morse is brilliant, such a distinguished voice.

[beanfishy]

this is such the most perfect song

[Turkeydoodlers]

i have this on a player piano roll, good stuff right here!

[jd03150]

"Who's that looking so petite?" It's Lee Morse, of course. She was just a tiny slip of a woman; from all indications that I've found, she probably never weighed much over a hundred pounds in her life. Small she may have been, but she had a heavyweight voice and a very crisp delivery of lyrics that I wish some of the current singers would learn.

[TreblePop]

I agree regarding "crisp delivery of the lyrics".  I hate it when I can't understand what someone is singing.

[cantleysugar]

Very much NOT a flapper! Highly individual look for 1925. I would love to have seen her live - I think she would have been a scream!

[WoofManToronto]

Brilliant!!

[prophetmehdi]

Great voice!

"Thank you for the upload"...

[rebekahmurphy417]

i first heard this song on matlock

[classicalgirl01]

The show ' matlock'?

[0aquariusw0]

great song! i need it for my Duo Interp for Speech and Debate. (My Client Curley) i like this song. it is funny sometimes that when she goes...do do do do do dooo. dodo do do doooo... she sounds like she is singing in the shower or is drunk. thanks

[dianamaryflorence]

This was one of my favorite songs back in 1925 when I was 25. Lee Morse is a very talented singer.

[Clepto202]

Your channel says your 68? you would be 109 now, wtf is wrong with you. Why do ppl make fake channels

[Countdown2Death]

He probably just lied about his age....

[bostonblakie]

A virtual 5 stars! Outstanding.

[azulo65]

First time listener... immediate fan!! :D

[yangoof]

she looks like katy perry!!! omg hahahah(:

[shovingwords]

katy perry looks like her!

[WeinerFilms07]

Beautiful song.

[osusannarosen]

Did Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike) copy Lee's way of scattin' and call it "eepin'", or was it just something they did back then? The Boswells did some killer mouth (and nose) music too. This is great stuff--thanks for posting!

[RReady555]

I wonder--"talent borrows, genius steal", as the man said... ;)

-RR

[lordmahan11]

Splendid! Absolutly wonderful! What a treat.

[RReady555]

To discover Lee is to love her--without reservation! ;)

-RR

[kspm01]

Like all wat Lee Morse did, this is awesome!

[RReady555]

She's grand! This is my only tune by Lee, glad to see you're posting more of her work from your vast and admirable library, KSPM!

A Bientot,

-RR

[cdadave83814]

I first met Miss Morse right here on YouTube last November...and you can't have her, she's mine! Seriously, her music continues to charm my life every time I listen to her. What a great singer. Just absolutely great.

[RReady555]

What an amazing woman! Her yodeling-scatting technique deserves highest marks for originality...shame her motion picture career didn't attain greater heights.

Best regards,

-RR

[cdadave83814]

I get the impression that when she warbled, yelped and scat-sang, that was her bubbly personality coming out on those songs. Her earlier music is more fun, although I like just about everything she did.

[RReady555]

What amazes me, Dave, is the technical stage of sound recording when this record was cut...the electrical process was brand-spanking new--she was already pushing its juvenile limits.

Can only imagine those early headset-wearing engineers fiddling pots on the board wildly to keep pace with Lee's antics. ;)

[dancebandleader]

@RReady555 Sorry, but careful listeing reveals this to be

an acoustical recording, not electric. When this tune was

popular major companies started the electric process, but

a few labels like Pathe, Perfect, Harmony, Edison, Gennett,

didn't convert right away .
