I Have never heard of this Incredible singer before. I have become a fan after listening to this. Its Great to hear More Lyrics to this All Time Classic Song.
My favorite Baker tune Mona and glad you liked it too. I had to scale back my posting time due to time issues. It may be a couple more weeks before I really get back on schedule.
Even before it was known as The Bad In Every Man, It was an idea for a MGM movie Hollywood Party, where Jean Harlow wassupposed to sing (Oh Lord, if You're not busy up there/, I ask for help with a prayer/So please don't give Me the air. The Bad in Every Man was the third lyric and sung by Shirley Ross in the movie. Finally, MGM wanted an romantic song and it became Blue Moon. Recorded in January 1935 by Connee Boswell. Al lthis info from Google.
I know the song, but must admit my ignorance regarding the singer. Was she primarily a jazz singer? Thanks for sending this my way, and thanks to pax41 for posting.
Having looked her up, I find she was originally a vaudeville performer and sang Broadway tunes of Irving Berlin (the first to introduce his "Blue Skies") and Richard Rodgers, as well as appearing in nightclubs and on radio. Any additional information about her is certainly welcome.
Absolutly beautiful! Belle Baker's style suited perfectly with this marvel. Do you know that this song was written for 1934 movie "Manhattan Melodrama" with different words and the title "The Bad In Every Man" ?
This is such a wonderful version! Great nostalgia with these photos.

@whispperson Have you listened to the rest of my posts by her? One of the best female vocalists of all time in my opinion.
