my mother worked for bert hirsch and knew frank munn. i met age 5 in 1950 with my mother and father in the street in manhattan. he was very jovial friendly. he had great voice. he was originally auto mechanic who discovered fixing a car according to my late mother. great arrangement minor key. probably mr. hirsh playing the violin. great**********ROGHARM
Munn does a great job on this song though. Great straightforward Haring arrangement. Munn had a "radio-rivalry" w/James Melton. from accounts Munn chould have cared less it was more on Melton. Drove Melton "Nuts" though because of Munn's non-chalance about the matter. Frank Munn retired to his home on Long Island, he passed away in 1953 while watching the World series on Television.
From the number of Haring recordings I posted, you'll have understood he was one of my favorite bandleaders. However, on this one I have the same preference you have for Franklyn Baur's version. Anyhow, I'm thrilled to hear yet another great rendition. Thanks once more for sharing.
Please always list the composer and author of all songs!
This is by the great IRVING BERLIN!
