Gene Austin (June 24,1900 - Jan.24, 1972) was an American singer and songwriter who is considered to have been the first "crooner".
He was a popular screen, radio & recording artist during the mid 1920's into the 1930's. He was known as "the voice of the south land" and a pioneer in the "crooning" style of singing. A jazz artist at heart, he was equally at home singing country ballads, blues and spirituals. His improvisational style apparent in his recordings, added a unique flavor to his interpretations.

This is an earlier recording of Ramona by Gene Austin. So it could be from 1924. He made a different record in 1928 after the movie came out with another arrangement I have hear d it many times. The movie by the way, long considered lost, is found and is being restored at this time. A nitrate print was discovered in the Czech Archive in 2002. It took several years for funding to materialize. The project is is now underway.

This song reminds me of my little cousin who was named Ramona who passed away at birth around 1926 when I was about a year old.

@KURTEGER This is a re-recording from the '40's or '50's I believe. It is not the original from 1928.

Why does this not sound like Gene Austin? I'm no expert on the singers of the era, but are you sure this is Gene Austin? A nice recording though.

Very nice rendition, but this recording could be done after 1924 because the song was presented in Dolores del Rio's movie in 1928.
