ELLA MAE MORSE ~ THE PATTY CAKE MAN ~ 1943

[ErrorUncertainty]

Wonderful song, just heard it for the first time tonight - along with several dozen other songs by her. Might I, at 20, be among her youngest fans?

im thirteen and she is my favorite artist (:

This ws the fifth of Ella's pop hits under her own name. "The Patty Cake Man" (Capitol 163) hit the Top 10 in September 1944.

This is a fun song. I was looking at your visual as the song played. Do you actually have the 78s that are showing in the video? I am trying to read the writer of "The Patty Cake Man" but I am unable to make it out. Do you have that information? If so would you post it? Thanks so much.

Looks like Roy Jordan. Pause the vid, click on View, go to zoom, click on 150 or 200. Don't forget to reverse it when you're done.

I love Elle Mae, she sings so cool !!

Funny thing: here in Germany, Bavaria, I find often some original Capitol records on fleamarkets with Ella Mae, maybe from former US-soldiers here in after war time...................

Ella Mae first heard this song in New York City and called back long distance to L.A. and sang it to Johnny Mercer over the phone, to talk him into letting her record it......("That'll be two dollars please, for the first three minutes".)....Great boogie song, but I never got the unintelligible parts of it. It sounds like more than just scat singing. Is it New York Yiddish? Or what?
