Van Fleming made a number of wonderful vocal records, both solo and choruses with dance bands...this is one of his best...and a prime example of a great post-Bix Goldkette record!
Most Goldkette records are relatively conventional and dull, and leave us wondering how this band could once "cut" Fletcher Henderson (acc. to the memoirs of Rex Stewart). This take offers a hint why that could happen.
I used to listen to a version of this on a Brunswick I believe. I can still recall it but can't recall the singer, Jack somebody? Does anybody know about or have a copy of that. I think it's the best version of this song I've ever heard but I don't have it any more. The other side might have been "I'm just a vagabong lover" (not by Maurice Chevalier)
SOUNDS LIKE TOM Y JERRY OST
