Glenn Diamond - Lay Me Down

This song is Part Two of my Tribute to Silent Film and Silent Film Stars. The previously released song -- Shadows From The Past -- was Part One. This new song -- Lay Me Down -- provides the bridge between the end of the Silent Era and the start of the Sound Pictures. That time began in 1927 with the release of "The Jazz Singer", starring Al Jolson, who was at the time the biggest star in the world. When the "talkies" -- as the sound films were known at the time -- first hit the screen, they were thought of as a novelty, and no one thought they would last. Even Warner Brothers, the studio who invested $3.5 million into the Vitaphone Sound System for films -- a HUGE sum of money for the 1920's -- did not think that "talking pictures" would become anything more than a novelty supplement to films.
