Released Jan. 1938 Andy Kirk Orchestra with I Won't Tell A Soul ( I Love You )
Andy Kirk's Orchestra was at the height of its popularity during the late 1930s, still riding high from their hit "Until the Real Thing Comes Along." The star of that record, singer Pha Terrell, is on the majority of the songs on this CD (the fourth in Classics' complete reissuance of the master takes of all Andy Kirk recordings from the swing era), but there are some hotter tunes too, most notably "Mess-A-Stomp," "Jump Jack Jump," "Dunkin' a Doughnut" and "Mary's Idea." However, Terrell's dominance of many titles may make many swing fans opt for the GRP/Decca single-disc Andy Kirk sampler instead.
A Genius band and equally Genius singer. Thank you to them all for this gem.

This original recording went to number one on the charts in the fourth week of December 1938 (from record sales, juke box plays and radio station requests).
