  • To robbie19371 Crooks sings Rio Rita solo on youtube. He was great ROGHARM

  • Found this treasure it is thrilling voices, multiple songs and GEM singers great chorus rated highest 14+ reserved for the very best performances. Great operatic voices thrilling love it!!!!!! thank you profusely have not heard this quality except during network programmes i heard as kid in the 40's and 50's. ROGHARM cannot shoot BEBES at this recording (punny) Bebe Daniels was great and i am not Ben Lyons to you (punny). thank you for this great post!!!!

  • If my memory serves Crooks can also be heard on the Light Opera Company recording of Gems from the Desert Song.

  • The James Lewis in the credits is actually Lewis James.

  • @robbie19371

    Apologies the transposition... duly corrected... THANKS!

  • What deliciously sedate and genteel folk these Texans and Mexicans are, how well recorded for their time, and how beautifully reproduced here by the Master Craftsman. As usual, a most enjoyable posting. Many thanks

  • Doug, this is absolutely delightful. Thank you. Maya

  • J. Harold Murray takes the lead for "Rio Rita" and "The Ranger Song."

  • @berzokmr

    Correct... as stated in the discography.

    Cheers, etc.

    Doug --

  • Crooks may be singing the lead in "Following the Sun Around," but it is J. Harold Murray singing "Rio Rita" and "The Ranger's Song."

  • @berzokmr

    Greetings:

    Yes, this is how it's listed in the discography (see "more info").

    Thanks!

    Doug --

  • This was brilliant....I loved hearing Richard Crooks and Charles Harrison in this...(two of my favorites)

    Thank you.

  • Morning / Afternoon Ginny:

    And thanks!

    ;-D

    Doug -

  • "We 're all bound together, all birds of a feather..." Sometimes these operettas make one wonder.

    Heavenly singing from Crooks.

  • LOL!

    Funny that...

    Cheers, etc.

    Doug --

  • Wait till you start posting records from Maria and Fausta Labia.

  • Rio Rita, life is sweeter.....They don't write 'em like that anymore. Crooks sings well.

  • Another gem. Great post!
