Boo Hoo - Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians

Boo Hoo - Carmen Lombardo, Cliff Grass and Fred Higman sing Boo Hoo. This song was one of their greatest hits and was one of their greatest hits and was written by Carmen.

Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians were one of the most successful big bands of all time. It was very much a family outfit with three brothers in the band. Also, from 1941 til the late 1940's a sister was the lead vocalist.
The band was formed in Canada in 1921 and was still going strong 50 years later. The band introduced more than 300 songs many of which became hits. A lot of the songs were written by Carmen Lombardo.

@xMTrenchx It was first released on the Victor scroll label in 1937, then re-released countless times on LP's and the Decca label in later years.

Hello Everyone,

I am just writing to say I am Nick Loveland, Guy Lombardo's Great Great Grandson. His descendent, Frank Lombardo was adopted and had a name change to Loveland, thus where the name comes from. I just thought I'd drop by and give this comment for those who truly enjoy his music like I do!

Real music.

I miss Guy.

Gay Lombardo is the best!

We used to watch Guy Lombardo over Lawrence Welk because my father was Canadian. I'll always associate Guy Lombardo with New Year's Eve. What a decline going from Guy to Marilyn Manson.

To Nick Loveland - do you have any information of his performances in the 1930s - specifically his May 18, 1931 performance at the Golden Pheasant Orchestra? If not, could you recommend some resources that I can utilize.

Interesting that this well-known orchestra had performed at a Cleveland Chinese Restaurant called The Golden Pheasant - more info at the Jun Bing Mar Facebook page. If anybody has any additional info on their appearches at other Chinese restaurants, let me know
