Once In A While Lennie Hayton Orchestra

[jlassie]

Any idea who the clarinetist is on this one?

This sounds like a well-rounded band that should have been more popular than it was. Partly sweet dance band, partly swing. Quite a pity they never caught on...

[Bigband78]

I have no idea.Rust's book only identifies vocalist Paul Barry.

[Corrie121]

This is timeless. Absolutely wonderful.

thank you for sharing.

[shg126]

Just sent it to you, Lou!

[Bigband78]

I received the Paul Barry Photo and will add it to future Lennie Hayton uploads.He sure was a handsome guy.The woman will swoon over him.Tell your Granny I said "HI".

[perla51]

Splendid music!!!!! Perla.

[Bigband78]

Perla,there is more to come shortly.

[shg126]

I can email it to you if you want

[Bigband78]

Thanks,I now have it.

[shg126]

Paul Barry was my grandfather, too! And Lenny Hayton was his best friend.

[Bigband78]

Do you have a photo of him that I can put on his next vocal'?

[shg126]

Yes,I do - what is the next vocal you are posting? This is very cool.

[Bigband78]

I'm going crazy trying to find the record that i missplaced,I will give you the Email the minute I find it or another Lennie Hayton.

[mbh64]

The vocalist is my grandfather - Paul Barry.

[Bigband78]

He does a fine job and if you have his photo,I would be glad to include it when he does the vocal on the other side.

[Bigband78]

Can you send me a photo of Paul Barry?I want to put his photo with "The Morning After"

[Sharon1944]

What a great song, one that we still love to hear!

[cvwtzhaar]

Excellent! One of my top 1000 favorite orchestras!

[Bigband78]

Can you name the other 999?(wink)

[tango3721]

Hey Lou - thanks for sharing. Lena Horne is still gorgeous but this new "wolfie" in the moonlight at the last frame - really "take the cake"!!!

[Bigband78]

Did you know her husband is the Band Leader and piano player!

[tango3721]

Of course I know who Lena Horne's husband is. My first Love is Entertainment but my second Love are Politics!!!

[Bigband78]

I didn't know,Tango.I thought you are a dancer like Jazzgirl.

[tango3721]

Lou - not boasting or anything - dancing Tango is my huge hobby and according to many outstanding Tango dancers in Chicago - I am in the "top heap" of Tango dancers.

[Bigband78]

Can you teach Lou and are you better then Gigi and Genia?

I just passed my stress test.Two doctors were waiting for me to fall off and I fooled them.HaHa

[tango3721]

I know that Genia dances up the Tango storm in New York and I have no clue about Gigi's Tango.

If you want to learn Tango - and it's not that hard - you might enjoy a few basic lessons - then you can come to Chicago - I will probably dance some Tango with you if you're a perfect gentleman - or close to perfect. Wink!!!
