Colonial Club Orchestra - You're The Cream In My Coffee, 1928

[XxKPlazaxX]

When I was a kid, I used to dislike jazz for being annoying background music for classic American cartoons. Only now I realize that jazz is more than just annoying background music for classic American cartoons. In fact, watching classic American cartoons now give me twice the pleasure; that is the pleasure of watching the cartoons itself and the pleasure of listening to the annoying background music we call jazz.

This song holds a lot of memories fro me. If I came in the house after being picked on as a little kid, My mon would put me on the kitchen stool and sing this song to me, This was way back in the late 40's or early 50's. I remember it like yesterday

I was over a friends house just last week and he played the Blue Amerole cylinder Edison recording of this song. It was one of the last cylinder recordings made. He actually had two and recently sold one for $4000.00

A real pleasure listening to this music while watching those fantastic old coffee ads. Thanks for this compilation!

[LordWham]

An old favorite, Thank you..!

Wonderful music and especially great pictures. With prohibition still in force you can be sure that coffee wasn't the only beverage in those coffee cups. Proper young ladies...Indeed!

[dzheger]

Love the song. G, you made me run to the kitchen for a fresh cup of coffee. Nothing elegant like that in these fantastic pictures, though.

[tiarabozen]

Beautiful music

I don't like Nescafe, but the picture is genial. I like your choise of music and pictures. Thanks Hein

Life's just not fair: these glamorous ladies not only drank

the best coffees, but smoked Lucky Strikes: which "meant fine tobacco," as the ad went. It think L.S. was the brand those neon lips smoked in a Times Square billboard.
