My Ideal is one of my favorite Richard Whiting songs. And while I really like this version of the song I think his daughter Margaret's recording some years later is the definitive one!

I seem to recall seeing an NBC publicity shot with Fran and "Hotcha" Gardner resting their chins on a 4A - a pretty odd composition but it showed them both in profile, as "book ends."

[Prozoot]

@RatPfink66, I've never seen that shot -- but since my 4A measures only six inches square, I'd say Fran and Hotcha got to know each other more than they wanted.

IT'S A GREAT LIFE...1930 M-G-M Duncan Sisters film...

Nice suprise to find my ideal as the second recording, as it is one of my favorite songs, wonderfully remastered as always... My compliments!

[lionelatwill]

Wonderful recordings done beautifully as usual. Both tunes are from the delightful Maurice Chevalier film "The Playboy Of Paris". In the film the song "My Ideal" was just a throw away, it wasn't so much sang as talked through, a rather missed opportunity. I was glad to hear this version,..great melody.

Nice one. Was this both sides of the same record?

[Prozoot]

@bostonblakie, Yes, the B side is "My Ideal" with vocal by Fran Frey who also plays that sweet alto sax.
