All Star Orchestra - My Melancholy Baby

[BerlinBo]

It is always enjoyable to see the cover of the sheet music. There is a lot of good art there. Thanks.

Someone several years ago found that there were 6 people still alive who had worked in the silent film making business. Probably by now they are all gone. No one left to tell us details of how silents were made.

... grausam ist nur die Zeit ...

[EdisonSquirrel]

Beautiful rendition. This is vastly different from Walter Van Brunt's 1915 recording for Edison.

[Masquerade03]

Beautiful rendition, more interesting than Whiteman's

[genia106]

Bob, I have always loved this song and the beautiful lyrics. This is so different, you just can't be melancholy listing to this great orchestra and this upbeat arrangement. It is PERFECT and your photos of the beautiful actresses show your excellent taste in women! :-) Beautiful! Thanks.

[pax41]

Thanks Genia, I don't have any pictures of you or I would post you too.

[Corrie121]

I just love the music of this era, and this one is just superb.

Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoy all your postings.

[pax41]

Thanks Corrie for your comments. So many songs and not enought time to share them.  You should see my stack of things I want to post.

Love this!I know it from a few years later when Al Bowlley recorded it.Maybe it took a few years to reach England

[pax41]

Glad you like it. I bet Al's version is super! I have not heard anything that he did that was not perfect.

[phredl]

Al recorded it in the states in 1935, While he was still with Noble. Don't believe the orchestra is Noble's though.

I love the one, two, three taking turns at 55 secs in the musical segment...and the muted horns right after. It's a sappy melody, but is so heartfelt...gotta love the decade!!

[pax41]

Love those muted horns, its my favorite part of this recording. Glad to see you back Ida!

[Shurayuki18481]

This is such a beautiful song!!!

[pax41]

It's my pleasure to have shared it with you my friend. Hope all is well with you and nice to see you back again!

[phredl]

I agree with Baur. If I find out differently I'll post it.

[phredl]

This is one of the best "All Star Orchestra" recordings. Thanks Bob

[pax41]

Your welcome Fred.  I like this house band a lot.

[pax41]

Fred the record does not credit the vocalist but I am almost sure this is Franklyn Baur. Do you know?

[merrihew]

Rust says its Baur. Wonderful arrangement. This is only their 3rd side.

[pax41]

Thank you Roger for confirming but I was 99% sure. I just got my Rust book today in the mail.

[phredl]

You're going to love the books. You won't need me as much anymore.

[pax41]

Sure I will. I just got the Complete Entertainment Discography

[phredl]

Pictures are great! Need to see one of "Madge Evans"

[pax41]

I will see if I can find one of her.
