I fell in love with the girl at 2:06....was she famous??

[Bigband78]

@naturaltoby ,Yes,that is Clara Bowe a movie actress in the 1920s.

...and the "master" number- "10621"- is the same one on the Perfect issue. So it's definitely Ring's orchestra!

[fromthesidelines]

This is apparently Justin Ring and His Orchestra, as several of his 1930-31 Perfect recordings were also issued under the "Majestic Dance Orchestra" pseudonym, and "Scrappy" Lambert was one of his regular vocalists. So, this was recorded on May 13, 1931, and originally issued on Perfect 15470.

Poor daughter,lost in North Carolina

[kitty1927]

I just love Scrappy!!

[fatsfan70]

Brilliant Mr. Big! Although now I'm torn between Scrappy's and Chick Bullock's versions. I'll have to keep playing both to find a winner. Oh but then there's The High Hatters too.... it's such a good number.

[Bigband78]

They are all good,Fats.this is a 5 woofer.

[kspm01]

This is my personal favorite version thanks to Supreme Scrappy.

[Bigband78]

Just for that,I'll upload the other side with Dick Robertson doing "Nevertheless".

[kspm01]

Great.

[Bobchai]

I've loved this song for over half my life. The version I first came into contact is the one bt Maurice Chevalier, but I like this tempo and arrangement better. 5 stars!

[Bigband78]

Thanks Bob,this is more you're style.

[oscar222555]

Moonlight Saving Time has a great beat! Oh, to go back in time (before I was born) and have lived in this era would be great!

[Bigband78]

It was not a pleasant era to live in(Depression)

[oscar222555]

People had front porches on their homes and you could trust your neighbors back then.....

[Bigband78]

That's true,I know that,you're talking about kids outside playing Kick the Can+Hide+Seek before they became television zombies.

[ginnykaren]

Not such a nice surprise. Glad you could get it back on here.

[Bigband78]

SHHHhhhhhhhhhhh.Big Brother,you know

[Bigband78]

You may have heard it by another band,but this is the only Scrappy Version on Youtube.I was lucky to find a mint copy.Don't be surprised to see a new Moonlight Saving TAX soon.

[ginnykaren]

Wow good song! Another one I have never heard before. Love the theme of it too. Moonlight Saving Time :)

[Bigband78]

Genia106 wanted this on.The Original vanished with the Christmas surprise.

[phredl]

One of my all time favorite songs. All the versions I have heard seem to be excellent!

[Bigband78]

This is the best version,Fred,Nice Tuba+Banjo.

[phredl]

I was actually thinking of you while listening to the song and thought "Bigband" probably loves the heavy tuba".
