MOANIN' LOW by Violet Day (Vaughn DeLeath) 1929

MOANIN' LOW by Violet Day (Vaughn DeLeath), recorded Sep 4, 1929 and here released on a Broadway label 78 rpm record. As you can see, this record has been just about played to death. I wouldn't ordinarily post something this worn out, but I think this tune is worthy of a listen even with the problems. Enjoy!

Some enquiries revealed this is indeed Vaughn DeLeath -

"According to Ross Laird's "Moanin' Low" discography, this is VDL, also
using the pseudonyms of "Gloria Geer", "Helen Richards", "Gladys Woods"
and "Marian Ross" on the same session, 4 Sep 1929." (Thanks JV)

Yes, most Definitely this is Miss Vaughan DeLeath, singing this wonderful Blues Song.

[MsViomax]

Fairly positive the vocalist is the wonderful Vaughn DeLeath. More than positive, in fact!

Never heard this one before - thanks for posting.

Who was Violet Day? A pseudonym perhaps?

Yes, it's been played to death, but it must be a fairly rare recording... and I have a remarkable scratch-and-crackle filter between my ears...

Thanks again.

Nice recording! Somewhere I have a version of this with Leo Reisman and his Orchestra...Has a male vocal refrain too, very interesting. Thanks for posting!

I like this better than Streisand's 1975 version!
