Lee Morse sings the Tango - In The Hush Of The Night, 1929

Great Lee Morse, here singing a kind of a tango/blues by Lerner/Hoffman. It's so much "European" kind of 1920/30s popular music,that I decided to illustrate it with the photographs by one of greatest European photographers in the history: Brassaï (ne Gyula Halász). He was Hungarian, but he worked in Paris, in 192030s.

I love the romantic lyrics and the moodie Brassai photos. I must point out that while the songs begins as a tango with a havanera tempo played on a guitar, its very quickly changes to moderate continental foxtrot of the thirties. Very Nice!
