Laughing At The Rain. Jack Payne & His BBC Dance Orchestra.1931.

Wow! Ive never heard this one! Such power and sense of urgency in the last chorus, just like "Brother Can You Spare A Dime' from those early Depression days! Amazing performance! Hey, I think I may have a Jack Payne here in my Yankee record collection too! I will have to post it for you. "When Kentucky bids the World Good Morning". Or do you have it already? I know nothing of this amazing band.. Glad I stumbled on to you! Am appreciating this great band so much more now!~

'Lullaby Of The Leaves' springs to mind with Jack Payne.

Love the dramatic intro and I love Payne's wonderful performance. He sure had me listening with my eyes wide open...

What a great recording! Ha Ha Ha.... :-) Thank you.

Fascinating contrast to the ultra-smooth Ambrose version, and Payne's handling of the vocal is interesting too - perhaps the band's experience with broadcasting novelty tunes was responsible for the dramatic treatment?

Wow! I'm at a loss for words. I've loved this song, and here's another terrific arrangement.  Thanks so much!

Jump on board sir, the more the merrier

[scoterpool]

Just as inspiring a song for these times as they no doubt were back then.

[jackpaynefan]

Great arrangement. Jack Payne sings with real conviction. (a little like Ted Lewis). Wonderful!

[85scampi]

I am jumping on the bandwaggon here!!.

[mic33george]

Dramatic version of this brilliant tune, befitting of Britains premier broadcasting band of the day!Lovely.
