I live a few blocks from the Hotel Pennsylvania in what used to be Tin Pan Alley. As a crooner I am very honored to be in this area. I hear that they want to tear down the hotel however. We won't let them. As per people without money not being able to hear music like this - EVERYONE could hear music like this through the miracle of radio and also budget records such as the Hit of the Week.

The early 1930s were great for music and for people who had money. Unfortnately, many people had nothing and very little chance to hear music like this.

Is This was the elevator music, wasnt it?

[Inverfar]

Love the 20's 30s music Check Out The Footloose Dance Orchestra from the UK

[up2space]

it's just pure magic. don't try to deconstruct it. it was what it was and boy was it great. why did it die? now to me this is a jazz outpost but one where i can have a martini and hear the nostalgia of a great era with that banjo pluckin and the soothing frequencies that just come over you like fascination.

Recorded in December 1930, shortly after Albin moved from Columbia to Crown. His last recording was released in April 1931.

Lovely song & voice. I live in the Hotel Times Square (now tiny apartments). The Pennsylvania is enormous.

[sylvestermeow]

Always remember the telephone number for the hotel:

(212) PEnnsylvania 6-5000 PE 6 - 5000 (very famous telephone No.)  Dada New York

I went up to the Hotel Pennsylvania just a week and a half ago when I went to a small saturday convention up in N.Y.C.

It's got an interesting lobby but I really wish I could have seen the place during its heyday.

[rapperjz]

Ahhh yes, the 1930's. The simpler times when the world was anew, I love the 1930's, it was the golden age as people like to speak of. May the 1930's live forever in people's hearts!

[Josh3455]

Yeah it was great unless you were a minority.

[78timothy]

The Crown Slogan: Two Hits for Two Bits" Wonder what the flip side of this is?

Probabbly just as good as this excellent side! 5***** to you! This is a real smooooth arrangement.

[ArtTsarina]

A faded postcard comes to life with a rendition of truly unique and original music!

[hartnell114]

[kspm01]

Exquisite rendition, up to Crown's usual high standards.

Sic transit gloria mundi...but also, at least sometimes,

sic transit tyrannis--at least until another tyrant comes along.

[dzheger]

Soft and dreamy tune. Charming pictures of old NY. The hotel, regrettably, is not what it used to be, but I hope they don't tear it down. I've heard nothing about such plans, B.

[Pathe39]

Bomba :)))) Aż się chce popłynąć...

[HarborGuy]

My kind of music - thanks a lot.

[tiarabozen]

[clipper1194]

I stayed in that very same hotel back in 34' when i was 21 years old, It was grand! What a swell time I had!

[Corrie121]

You would have been 17 when this was recorded.

Do you remember this song from that time?

Hope you have many more years enjoying this great music on You Tube.

God Bless.

[morbidgypsy]

@clipper1194 Please don't take this as rude, but I am so glad that you are able to enjoy this here. My grandmother was not afraid of computers and new stuff and it is good to see that she is not the only one of her generation like that. And yes, I born in the late 70s and now reminiscing about times I never saw. *grin*

@clipper1194 I'm sure you were born 100 years ago pal.

[barbcard]

One of the last of the great hotels; they still, as you note,use the Glen Miller song not only as their phone # but as a greeting of sorts. Alas, I've heard rumors that the hotel will soon be torn down. I hope they're only rumors.  Any ex or present day New Yorkers know more about this?

Piękne, archiwalne zdjęcia, piękny, stary świat..
