'Small Fry' - Bunny Berigan

A classic Bunny Berigan track. I am not 100% certain - but I believe the vocalist to be Connie Bosworth. If anyone knows for certain would you please confirm in the comments section.
Many thanks,
Trooper7h

greentom7777,

When I was a child I used to sing this song ...and I thought that it was Harry James playing the trumpet!!!

...It wasn't untill some years later that I discovered it was Bunny Berigan...:-o

Thank you for your comment.:)

my best wishes to you,

fromthesidelines Hi,

Thanks for the info. I was hoping someone would come up with the answer - and yours is very detailed and has helped me fill in a big blank in the info I had on this record...

Thanks again.

All information about this recording and about Bunny Berigan can be found in the new biography of Berigan: "Mr. Trumpet---the Trials, Tribulations and Triumph of Bunny Berigan" by Michael P. Zirpolo. Go to "Mr. Trumpet" and follow the links to the book's website.

@djoutrage18 hey if you were still looking for some berigan.. and u wanted to pay for them, itunes has plenty for you.. a good 7 different albums. but im sure youd be able to download them for free somewhere.. i used something called "soulseek" its a pretty good source if u want complete albums

What a great song - there is even a cartoon from the 30's called "Small Fry" and it is on YouTube, with this song as the backdrop.

Well that's surely not Connie boswell. My money is on it being a gal named Ruth Gaylor. Oops, I just saw "fromthesidelines" had it 2 years before me.

You're welcome, 'trooper'- the "Devil's Holiday" CD consists of the sides Berigan recorded for "Thesaurus" in the summer of '38...
