Fantastic video. I always wanted to know who Coco Heimel was. I saw his name in credits for Fats Waller recording sessions with Gene Austin from mid 1930's.
Now I know who Coco Heimel was: one helluva guitar player!
Yes, he is really playing. He wasn't well known outside of this group with Gene Raymond. This trio did make some recordings and a few with another bassist.
One of Candido's biggest claims to fame was partnering up with Bud Abbott after Lou Costello died in order to raise some money to pay off Bud's tax debt. He was a talented comedian in his own right.
Candy is a nickname but that's what he always went by. There's an artcle about him on wikipedia but the only videos of him playing bass here on youtube are from this movie.
Woah. This is the first time I've seen Candy Candido's face. He's not at all what I expected. Sometimes I love it when the rug gets pulled out from under me.
Sterling Holloway was in the "Dancing Lady" with Joan Crawford a year before this film was made. They were both great voice actors..! My favorite was Cliff Edwards, he was quite a star before he worked for Disney.
Candy Candido has the most amazing voice ever!

The sober-faced young guy looking at Joan Crawford is Franchot Tone, whom he'd marry in 1935 - and divorce in 1939.

Are you sure the tenor guitarist isn't Eddie Lang? He looks and sounds just like him. Best jazz guitarist of his time.

Matthew 6870: Look for Candy in the movie Roberta (1934), with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. He's playing in Fred's band and also sings and dances.

I have Candy Candido's slap bass method book. He could sure tear it up. I like the punchline of this video "now play something hot". Good stuff.
