Great voice and arrangement love it!!!! WHO IS THE GREAT SINGER??? He is great. found by mistake my good fortune. rated highest 11+. They may be dancing in the dark but this recording is bright not dark!!! GREAT VOCALIST-WHO IS IT?? ROGHARM
This is a perfect recording. I have arguments with a friend of mine who prefers the Nat Shilkret and other bands on Victor. The Ben Selvin/ Fred Rich/ Sam Lanin recordings, at this time, for Columbia, have so much more sophistication than Victor bands had. Thanks!
fleet, what imagery...for me it was a broiling hot summer day along Lake Harriet in Minneapolis...and the girl was Elinor, a demure blonde in crisp calico...a doomed romance, a fling. I wore white linen for our evening out at the Casino, then a little while walking the lakeshore...a moment of passion, no more, in the front seat of a Hudson Great-8..then driving her back thru the heavy night air to her family along Kings Highway.
@RatPfink66 Thanks for that. It's like I was there. Had similar moments myself. funny I can always remember the cars I had -including (old by then but all I could afford) a '38 Plymouth Business Man's Coupe- (2 door of course!) , as they were called then. but the girls names...well
I imagined in my previous life, me and my date, a flapper named Mabel from San Francisco, drove down the California coast in my Stutz Bearcat at the invitation of William Randolph Hearst to his Castle near San Simeon. Stepping out with a top hat, cane, and spats, me and my date waltzed across the ballroom to this tune...back in 1932...
Wonderful Frank Munn vocal. I like to use this recording and the other side to show collectors just how superior the sound was compared to the later "Bluewax" Columbias
Yes, the Royal Blue laminated material had to be some kind of economy move - besides, of course, an eye gimmick. It cut out the crisp high end response and often added a subtle swish.
It's not impossible a major hit like this stayed in the catalog long enough to see a Royal Blue pressing - might be a fun comparison to hear them side by side...
it's from the bandwagon....no ginger, but fred was in the show on broadway... the lyrics are marvelous....love is the antidote for all. thanks for this fine version.
It's ab beautiful tune and the artwork to match! Is it from the famous Giner Rogers/Fred Astair masterpiece movie! They made at least ten - which were a toal perfection! Thanks!!!

Wow thanks for the photographs. I think it ties Victor Salon's, which is more dreamy.

@baghend Elinor was real, but it was 1989, not 1932, no Hudson, no calico, no linen. More I will not say. ;)

@RatPfink66 Wonderful. A gentleman would never kiss and tell, then or now. I hope Elinor has fond memories as well.
Actually, if you have her phone number......

Now added to 1931 in my series of music playlists covering each of the past 100 years. Come hear the evolution of pop music one year at a time ! ! !
Play all on any year and return to a forgotten time . . . . . . . . .

Dreamy and jazzy at the same time. I especially like those ladies dancing solo with a cigarette as her "partner."
