Old hit from Berlin - Sag mir Darling, 1931

Sag mir Darling (Sag mir Liebling, sag mir Du) (Call Me Darling, Call Me Baby, Call Me You) - Karkoff Orchester, Derby 1931

NOTE: Here's one more of those lovely little dance records from Weimar Berlin of early 1930s. On most of Derby labels of that time a mysterious "Karkoff-Orchester" can be read, as kind of a house band for this record company. Despite the fact, that in some sources a certain Karkoff does appear, as a musician and bandleader, most of these cases however, are nothing but one common nickname used for various well-known German dance orchestras of the Weimar era (Marek Weber, Dajos Bela, Paul Godwin, Julian Fuhs and many others).
The sophisticated arrangement and characteristic sound of the ensamble playing this lovely and very stylish English Waltz, sounds quite familiar to my ear - yet, I wasn't able to identify it.

Let me add one thing: I dedicate this clip to my patient, Mr. D. from Bydgoszcz who, after happily undergone eye-operation regained his good vision and - as his charming contribution to our You Tube fan-club of The Roaring Twenties - carried with him into my office a few excellent Weimar 78s... A generous present, that nearly brought me to tears. Mister D., thank you!

Hello again--ever since I heard this the tune has been echoing in my head. Like you I think I've heard it before. I'm pretty sure there was an English version with a title something like "Call Me Darling, Call Me Sweetheart, Call Me Dear" that had some popularity in the late 30s (?). I don't remember where or when I heard it.

A particularly fine selection of illustrations to accompany a pleasant waltz. Thanks for posting.

And, please thank your patient, Mr. D!

An enjoyable delicate waltz and lovely pictures of well-taken-care of lieblings and their elegant liebers. And the story about your patient is very moving!

Utterly charming. Convey my thanks to Mr. D, bitte. (There's a vague resemblance at the end to "The Tennessee Waltz," made famous by Theresa Brewer--

or was it Patti Page?)
