I was looking for Don't Blame me as I have it in one of my Sax books. Not only did I find that but also this lovely music. I have listened to lots of Rudy Wiedoft but had never heard of Rudy Vallee. To think he changed his name after Wiedoft. Any way I wish this music was still around. I would love to play in a band who did this stuff but sadly there are none. This music makes me think of my parents and better times. Thanks for posting.
OMG! Listen to that dreamy orchestra. It's beautiful. What gorgeous music. You Tube is the only place you can hear it. I would love this on a CD with "Miss You" also by scrappy lambert and Meyer Davis. "Don't Blame Me" if I go on and on. Great music to dance to, unforgettable melodies. Thanks for bringing this to You Tube!!!! Tommy
FT was a very nasty piece of work - he "collected" parts of girls. The London police arrested him on suspicion but amazingly let him out on bail. Then he escaped by ship to NY via France. The police followed him there but he vanished again.
Just wondered cause when I was looking up this kind of music I thought when it said 'special appearance by the Ripper' on this videos commentary it was talking about a musician of that name, rather than just a photo out of a horror film in a montage of stills...

Sounds very sentimental and a little bit pathetic ... as several recordings of Rudy. I like it very much.

@990jur ,Personally I prefer the 1929 Vallee orchestra with the banjo keeping the beat.

Today's music is inferior to this.

I thought I was all Rudy'd out but this one is nice. By the way it wasn't Vallee that got it in the neck, it was Wiedoeft - see my note on "S'posin".
Eye witnesses to the Ripper said he wore an American 'wideawake' hat - not a topper. Francis Tumblety strikes again!

You English are blaming an innocent American who never set foot in England.

Why put the Ripper picture in, what's the backstory to the conneciton between this tune and that?

A great song this Lou. Nice to hear a new version. I picked up a Rudy Vallee today as a matter of fact in 'old' York!.

I was going thru a box of records that i had priced to sell and found some good stuff including Rudy's "Thank Heaven For You" on BB 5098.

"Don't blame me" for loving this Rudy:)
This is a very, very beautiful song.
5***** (10 if I could rate that high)

But, why on earth would I blame the poor guy for his lovely song? Beautiful, surprising photo at 1:48, totally different from the rest.
