I feel alot of the manic hot dance style of the other1930 tune this band recorded, Livin in the Sunilght, Lovin in The Moonlight. Both awesome examples of Bernie Cummins fine band! Thanks for sharing! This song sure got alot of play back then! I think Annette Hanshaw did at least 4 different records of it. Love your rare band pics that go with it!
@Bigband78 wow, Another version ! Id love to hear that too! It would be great if youtube would group all the versions of jazz era tunes together. Some might be bored, but Id enjoy the chance to hear all the different styles and tempos and vocal deliveries! The sax syncopation following the chorus on this is just great! Is the Clevelanders on your Regal label the same group on Brunswick? I have What a Girl What a Night! by them. Some fun! thank you
I Must Be Easy To Please. I LOVE! Every Version I Have Heard Of This Awsome Song. Each Has It`s Own Unique Flavor. Fanny Is Wonderful , Libby Is Cool, Ruth Is Sweet , Belle Is Awsome, Annette Is So Cute, Lee Is Smooth. Thanks For Posting.
Nice one Lou, evidently recorded on one of Belle's good days. The arrangement is very similar to Roger Wolfe Kahn's version with Libby Holman' s vocal.
Libby Holman had a good voice but used too much vibrato for my taste in dance music. Only dimly remember that Fanny Brice didn't impress me. Belle Mann put out some duds but I like her "Buy Buy For Baby" with young Bennie Goodman.
I just saw the YT 240252 posting of the Fanny Brice version - still not impressed - pace too slow for a bouncy number and the comic descent into a yiddish accent leaves me wondering.
PS. The record "Buy, Buy..." is by Ben Pollack's Park Central Orch.

Very nice, and though I like all the different versions of this wonderful song, I think Maria Muldaur's wonderful version from the 1990's is tops.

Be nice to poor Fanny. I enjoy her recordings but everybody has their own tastes.

Although I usually like Fanny Brice, I don't care for her version of this song. My favorite version of this song is done by Annette Hanshaw.
