There's another Bidgood version of this, on 8" Broadcast 760, which makes more use of the drummer, to great effect.

Thanks. I will check the collection for that one.

[85scampi]

Oh yes!. It will become an 'upload' soon!

You should stop frying bacon when you play music.

Gets better as it progresses.  The Bowlly version with the "Deauville Dance Bamd"

is even better.

I've posted elsewhere how Ted Weems' `Heartaches' is one of my 5 favorite records, regardless of genre.

That said, the song itself is so sweet that all versions are worthwhile. This one makes me sentimental 'tho I was not around in the '30's.

I never had a problem with the Marcels' version, except the horns on the intro break are a little uninspired.

Check out Patsy Cline's cover too if you have not as of yet.

Happy New Year!

Its amazing how many bands recorded this great song. I only knew the Weems version growing up in the sixties.

Much prefer this to the 1938 latin american style version by Ted Weems.This is perfect 1931 British dance band!Would like to hear the 1933 Weems version though.

Originally recorded By Weems in 1933 on Bluebird. Was recorded again in 1938 on the Decca lable, both were re-released in 1947 with the Decca being the better seller. The arrangements are almost identical both have Elmo Tanner whistling and are played as a rhumba. The later version is a bit "hotter" Fred
