I keep coming back to the wonderful jazz renderings at the last part of the song. They sure touch a chord in me. Does anyone else hear Guy Lombardo's style in this music?
This is the third rendering of the song I've listened to in the past few minutes, and is my favourite. I have seen few photo's of Jean Harlow until this video. She is a beautiful woman, shown in her best light by someone that knows what they are doing.
I think this is just fabulous..could I purchase this.. download this? Thank you so much for this post.
All these comments ..so wonderful, so informative. It is so lovely to know that there are people around that appreciate this music, that was out way before my time..as much as I do!
Recorded on February 9, 1931, this is the same Glenn Miller arrangement (with most of the same musicians and vocalist, Paul Small) used in the "Benny Goodman and His Orchestra" recording for Melotone [one of ARC's "dime store labels"] four days earlier, on February 5th.
The clarinet solo toward the end of this record was played by Benny Goodman. The trombone player was Glenn Miller. This is an eminently danceable foxtrot; it's kicky as one might say.
Wallace Ford at about 00:14 he also appeared in Tod Brownings "Freaks" from the same period, about 1932. His last movie was in 1965 "A Patch of Blue" costarred w/Shelly Winters, Elizabeth Hartman, and Sidney Poitier, I think Picture won Best Picture Oscar that year.
And the harlow photo are very nice, I like to think she danced to this at a party or some nightclub swathed in ivory or black satin with no undies of course!
What a tasty version of this heartbreaking song. It's amazing!! In the 1930's an arranger could take the most heartbreaking of songs and make it sound cheerful. This sounds like either a Ben Selvin or Sam Lanin session. McDonough sure stands out in his sensitive guitar playing.
Wonderful record, which features Paul Small on the vocal. Nice lead trumpet is Ruby Weinstein. The super guitar work is Dick McDonough, clarinet is Benny Goodman, drummer is Gene Krupa...one of the first times Goodman and Krupa recorded together.
Very nice. Thanks for posting!

This has a much fuller tone than you would expect. Did you use some
sort of mild processing before posting?

The best versions, and there are several, are by Kate Smith. The one from her Carnegie Hall album blows everybody else away.

My grandmother used to call me a little "Miss Harlow"...never knew what she meant, until I saw Personal Property.
Then I laughed, and have been watching ever since.
