Your welcome. From what I read, he really did sound like an ass! Although I still buy his music, but that's mainly for the vocalists he hired, such as Helen Ward, Martha Tilton, Helen Forrest and Peggy Lee, plus many others. He probably had the finest vocalists of the swing era, infact I'm sure of it
I’ve noticed, when interviewed, the BG girl singers all seem to be really diplomatic (maybe it’s the times they were from). They stop short and never say anything BAD about Goodman. If the singers had been born in the 2nd half of the century they wouldn’t hold back, they would spill the goods on Goodman in a heartbeat. Corrections always welcome.
if only pop music writers still wrote music like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
music died along with all other forms of culture in the 1970s!
