Bowery Boy Bobby Jordan Sings!

One of the Bowery Boys' best entries had Sach (Huntz Hall) transforming into the mellifluous "Bowery Thrush" -- an amazing crooner who sounded like "Crosby, Jolson and Sinatra, all on one record!". (And besides the vocal similarity, his physique even rivaled the bobby-sox era Sinatra!). Little did movie patrons know that this premise was a case of art imitating life, because it seems that former Bowery Boy Bobby Jordan actually possessed a genuine singing talent! As evidence this clip features an actual audio recording of Bobby's post-Bowery Boy nightclub performance, in which he sings "Sweet Lorraine".
At song's end Bobby good-naturedly proclaims himself to be "the greatest male voice to be heard in the last 50 to 100 years" -- before admitting to have "lost" his head, and joking that he "looks better without it!"

Bobby was not only a talented actor, but singer as well. Yes, it is sad the way his life went. I hope he is at peace now.

With the CRAP that Hollywood puts out today, to imagine this SEXY STUD with a singing voice that was hardly used back then is unimaginable!...... I thought they made EVERYONE sing and dance in the old movies! Rest in peace Bobby. I still have sweet dreams about you!

Ignore these posts by redop. They're just commericals for stuff he's selling.

Is it possible to buy a copy of this? I would love not just the song, the whole nightclub act that he did, would it be available anywhere?

[miccione1718]

Bobby was the best. God bless him.
