Rudy Vallee - Orchids In The Moonlight, 1933

This is one of the Great Tangos Of The World. It was composed by Youmans for the movie "Flying Down To Rio" and is distinguished by its melodramatic, majestic tone and a perfect orchestration by Rudy Valle and His Connecticut Yankees. Rudy's dreamy voice in the refrain adds to this tango's sensual, beguiling charm.
Recorded in 1933.

having just watched 'flying down to rio' twice i prefer Rudy Vallee's recording of this song to Raul Roulein who sang it in the movie

When I think of this song i think of flying to down to rio with Dolores Del Rio, Lew Ayres and Fred and Ginger.I imagine this to be a rare recording on 78? It sounds great. You can almost imagine Dance Halls of My Great Granparents dancing to this. Thanks

Great version. I've recently starting taking notice of Rudy Vallee's music and can now see why he was so popular.

@orchid4421 I too am made happy by your joy. Have you ever taken a dump in the woods? If you ever do, you'll instantly appreciate the genius of the toilet.
