1930s Dance Band - The Savoy Hotel Orpheans

Delightful post.
Thanks for sharing.

Kind of female  charm we see no more
( By free choice from hers ...).

Wonderful ! It's so evocative of an era of the greatest and most tuneful popular music ever written and sung by such dazzling stars.

The Singer is Frances Day, a US born singer who lived and worked in the UK from the 1930's., famed for a very sophisticated song delivery.

Wonderful, thanks for posting this clip. Just when I think that You Tube has given up all it's treasures, I find this. I used to think how great it would have been to be around in the 30's to see this music, then I remember that they've been through WW1 and have WW2 to look forward to.

It's pretty neat to see C. Gibbons on film. Have only heard recordings before. I'm from the US & know he was big in England but not really over here. Accidently came across some old radio broadcasts done for Hartey's Jam (from 1934) w. Anne Lenner as singer and became a fan. Those old radio transcriptions capture the time like nothing else, and it's neat to hear how a "jazz" show was done in England with an Engish announcer. Very low key compared to American announcers of the same time.

I wish I had lived when this music was around, music cannot be called music today, this is the genuine article!!!
