Than ks Masquerade. Ted Weems had his best years between 1927-30. All his recordings from that era are just glorious!

Clara Bow's got "it"....

[240252]

Yes, she indeed was a "IT" owner. I was surprised to read some time ago - in some American actor's biography - that Clara Bow was "a sexoholic", as we'd call that disease today. Back then it was called : nymphomania. It totally ruined her life. She was constatntly engagin herself into new relationship, than - dropping her partner to another, than engaging and dropping again and again... plus a lot of booze and probably, dope. Such a sweet & childlish face - and what a tragedy behind it.

What made the Weems Orchestra special in the late '20's,in my opinion, were the

imaginative arrangements,use of insruments,key changes etc. In this number there is a good tuba or sousaphone solo followed by some glorious piano,with presumably much use of the loud pedal, which produces an 'echoey' effect.

Wonderful cymbal crashes-perfectly timed!

What is it that makes Weems stand out aboee the other bands? Some I like, other I love, but I keep returning to Weems. I had about a dozen of Weems records, all beat to h*ck, but they they were amongst the record I most often played.

I've never come across a commercial copy that was better than V+

some bitch flapper blocked her videos from me who had this song. I didnt care about her dancing, i just wanted to hear this song. Thanks for posting!!!!!!!

Grzegorz, another home run and thanks much.

BTW, Clara wasn't the sexually obsessed lady written about and the idea for example that she bedded a college football team has long been dismissed as myth. Which is not to say she wasn't permissive as was many a flapper of that day and time. But there was much written about her that was not true. Still a sad story tho.

Lovely word --oczko. But now women just toss the stocking, eye and all, into the trash. Poor blind stocking...Worth a poem. By the way Clara Bow attended my high school in Brooklyn many, many decades ago. Never graduated, far as I know. Didn't know she was such a sexpot!

I can't believe this wasn't on YT yet, it's one of the classics epitomizing the 20s.
