Hal Kemp's Orch. & Skinnay Ennis - When My Dreams Come True, 1929

[6silhouette5]

Gosh, Skinnay Ennis is such a good singer. I have a song by him titled "When I'm with you". Love it so much.

Yes, this song was played in the Marx Brothers 1929 film for Paramount, The Cocoanuts. I had only heard it in that movie and had never heard a 78 recording of the tune until this one. Nice to hear another version of this tune from that Marx Brothers film. I think Harpo Marx plays a subtone clarinet solo in the film just like the clarinet player on this recording.

Charming presentation Grezgorz and very nice music! Thanks.

The romances and Photo Play were all the rage, the music almost sound like it was ready for the mid l930's - great version.........Love, the old magazine covers........and the 4x4 time..

The kind of hilarious pulp magazines that one had to hide behind an algebra textbook or Silas Marner. Not that they were truly risque, except maybe in a subtle way for the couple at 2:31. Either she's lost her chastity or--given her plumpness--is slightly pregnant.

Most enjoyable!! Great rendition.

Thank you for sharing.

The bouncy rhythm, the rich orchestration and the pleasant voice make it a perfect dance music. I move compulsively in my chair. And all these genuine lovers (Oh well, not Groucho) make you feel so good.

A very good band and I hear a superb banjoplayer. Who is he? Hein

[edgrosso]

I believe it to be Eddie Peabody. Famous for being introduced on live radio, 'Eddie Playbody will now Pee for You."

[heinbanjo12]

Thank you Ed.

[phredl]

I believe the banjo player is Ollie Humphries who was with the band from the beginning. I think Kemp did a film short with Peabody and they really were highlighting Peabody not the band.

[edgrosso]

Probably correct. Now this is a debate worth having (in times like these.) Thanks Derek. Ed
