Hal Kemp 1936

A nice little Adolph Zukor short from 1936 featuring the Hal Kemp Orchestra. Performances include Maxine Gray ( a real cutie!) singing "I'm Building Up To An Awful Letdown," Skinnay Ennis singing "The Bride Comes Home," the dance team of Charlie Baron and Joan Blair performing to a snappy version of "Stop, Look, and Listen," and comic vocalist Saxey Dowell slurring his way through "Ten Little Bottles." Ah, the end of Prohibition! Guitar nuts will note that the guitarist plays a vintage Rickenbacker "Frying Pan" electric Hawaiian guitar behind Maxine Gray's vocal. The Frying Pan was the first commercially successful guitar designed and manufactured by Adolph Rickenbacker. This short was originally released on video in 1984 by Swing Time Video.

HAL KEMP WAS GREAT WITH SKINNAY ENNIS and MAXINE GRAY!! The Class from UNC at Chapel Hill as KAY KYSER was died tragically in 1940 in auto accident.

Liked Skinnay's vocal version of the bride comes home on this better than the record.

Kemp and his band also appeared in a Paramount/Max Fleischer "Screen Song" during this period, "No Other One" {"And now, everybody sing, if ya' like.."}.
