Roy Fox and his Orchestra from 1931, play "Sweet and Hot", show tune from "You Said It". written by Harold Arlen and Jack Yellen. Sung by the popular vocal trio, the "Cubs" Enjoy one of the finest and most popular British bands of the early thirties!
"You Said It" ran 197 performances at Chanin's 46th Street Theatre (New York, NY) (1/19/1931 - 7/4/1931)
The vocal trio with Roy Fox were: Les Lambert, Ivor Mairants and Harry Gold, "The Cubs."
Harold Arlen Bio: An American songwriting legend and son of a cantor, Harold Arlen was fascinated early in his life with the sound of ragtime. While singing in his father's synagogue he also played ragtime piano in local Buffalo bands and accompanied silent films. After arranging for the Buffalodians, Arlen moved to New York. His jobs included arranging for Fletcher Henderson and serving as a rehearsal pianist for radio and theater. A vamp he devised while practicing was later turned into the song "Get Happy," with lyrics from Ted Koehler.
Arlen and Koehler wrote eight revues for the Cotton Club, one of which included the anthem "Stormy Weather," first performed by Ethel Waters. Though he moved to Hollywood in the '30s, Arlen kept penning songs for Broadway, working with other lyricists like Dorothy Fields, Leo Robins, Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, and Ira Gershwin as well as Koehler.
His list of hits and accomplishments is amazing; they include songs for the films Take a Chance, Star-Spangled Rhythm, The Sky's the Limit, and his most famous, The Wizard of Oz. Arlen also composed tunes for the plays Earl Carroll Vanities, Rhythm Mania, and St. Louis Woman. The incredible array of unforgettable compositions includes "I've Got the World on a String," "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues," "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "It's Only a Paper Moon," and "Over the Rainbow."
Numerous jazz artists have recorded his songs, as well as pop performers across the spectrum. Arlen made a few recordings as a performer, among them sessions with Duke Ellington (Leo Reisman) and Barbra Streisand. Source: Ron Wynn, All Music Guide.
