A request!
Look for Cliff Edwards' (Ukulele Ike) version of this song as well.

  • She was no Vaughan de Leith nor even Ruth Etting.Just another marketing product of very little vocal talent.Better were a host of others such as Marion Harris,Connie Boswell,Lee Wiley,Maxine Sullivan etc.Best part was that they could even sing.

  • Hmm, I guess I could hear some artificial Britney Spears-y quality to her singing if I wanted to, but still; she had an absolutely great sense of timing and really know how to "perform" and "act out" a song. She was a master of the sexy double entendre and makes everything she sings all her own. Plus, her music always put a really big smile on my face. So, I'd give her more credit than you, but Connie Boswell she ain't.

  • Thank you for not posting a nasty rebuke.I tend to overkill in my statements,and can be unkind at best.Anything or one that puts a smile on ones face is great if for that alone.Connie Boswell and Lee Wiley etc.were of a far different style of singing,and for me were far more smile inducing.

  • I'm not one to be nasty and you obviously know what you are talking about.

    (I guess you don't really like Annette Hanshaw either?)

  • Ah yes. The "Boo-boopee-doop Girl."

    I never knew her but she went to my church in Jackson Heights, NY. Famous for "I Wanna' be Loved by You." that's her classic contribution

  • For years, I've had this mental picture of her, listening to her records. It didn't agree with the movies you see of her on this site, unfortunately. ;-)

  • That's a very sweet one. Thanks for the beautiful music.

  • She's AMAZING! You cant compare a high pitched female from the 20's with a deep voiced male from the 40-50s, by the way.
