Carroll Gibbons & Marjorie Stedeford - Black Coffee, 1935

[MrRosegrove]

Can I buy a C.D. of this recording??

[stuartg40]

If anyone can recommend any more like this that would be great. Thanks.

[LillyBelleMayJune]

@stuartg40 Why, yes, as a matter of fact! Cleo Brown's style (same period) is delightfully similar!

[IvanaFeathers]

Gorgeous deep voice, very sultry! !

[jameswiese]

Great voice! But the piano is hot as well, and the drummer, my, my, my such subtle swinging behind the vocalist!

I wish I could time travel back to these times!!

[desmesnae]

Like the way the track begins to pace off into a fanciful chase towards excelleration near the compositions closure. Real sweet listening for a quiet soiree, or a late night dinner by moonlight.

11th song for my 1935 list, one of 120 music playlists that let you hear the sounds of any year, back into the 1880s, as if you were back in the day.

It's a trip back in time with just the click of your mouse !!!

Thank you, Buddy, for your really insightful and intelligent comment :-)

Marjorie went home to Australia. She married, had a son and continued her career as a radio singer. She died, aged only 50, in 1959.

[VintageLady1980]

Love her voice! Thanks for sharing this classic tune! :D

[noeyiom]

I love this record, i can even hear it through my wifes nagging, magic! I heard it on

Youtube ages ago & every so often i put Youtube on to get my fix again, it's ingrained now in my head, trouble is, so is my wife. Love this record though.

[DK6400Brian]

This one is great. Good sound.

I knew of Carroll Gibbons Savoy Hotel Orpheans, but Marjorie Stedeford is new to me.

Lovely tune :o) Thank you.

Charming, Fancy

Just to let you know that 7 months after I discovered this song I still tune it in a couple of times a week. It's become one of my top favorites and I hope someone digs up more of Ms. Stedeford's work.

[goldenlady1983]

This performance is so unique! What a distinctive voice! This posting made me smile :)

[windsor36]

I had never even heard of Marjorie Stedeford until I saw this!

[bollockbrain123]

wow, atmosphere,it has it all.i wonder how many of us brought up in the 60's would have prefered the 30's

[funstuff2006]

lol, I was brought uup in the 90s and I woulda preferred the 30s and 40s.

[sparcusmarcu]

Love it!

[harbottle99]

If you like I can email you the track of her singing 'With you'. It's from a CD called Albert Sandler and his palm court orchestra at the park lane hotel.

Wonderful! Have you heard Marjorie Stedeford sing 'With you'? I first heard of this wonderful singer on a CD of Albert Sandler and his orchestra at Park Lane Hotel in the thirties when she sings 'With You'. Can you get any CDs of her do you know? and thank you for posting this wonderful song.

[dzheger]

Lovely tune, fine orchestration, clever lyrics. And this glowing voice makes it really special. The return of these artful illustrations is welcome too.

[smurfswacker]

Great song, and a sterling performance by a singer I'd never heard of before. I'd love to hear more of her work. Love that unique voice!

[kspm01]

Gibbons, this couldn't go wrong! Outstanding as usual on his recordings.

[2ekan]

This is great. I have never heard her or the band before: a revelation. They really take the manner of the `30s entertainment music to a higher level. Thank you.
