Very nice.

@talmadge1926 This is the refrain to "Sunny" Never comb your hair Sunny! Leave the breezes there Sunny! Let your stocking fall down, For shocking the town is all that you do. Smiling all the while Tomboy, Where'd you get your smile from boy? Little sunny girl, Be my honey girl, I'm for you! you

The people mentioned do take part, but "Bluebirds" is Helen Clark & Lambert Murphy; D'ye Love Me is Lewis James and Olive Kline; Who? is Elsie Baker and Royal Dadmun. All this from the Victor files 3 Feb 26, issued in March, from Bolig's book on the Victor "Gems" series. Of course, they also let "Bluebirds" slip by as "Two Little Blueberries," so all is not perfect in the world yet!

"Sunny" is such an infectious melody - i have been trying to find the lyrics without any luck. Any tips where i might find them?

The tenor on "Bluebirds" is Richard Crooks and the second tenor is Lewis James. The soprano sounds like Helen Clark. Thanks.

Of course there are several different vocalists on this one. Great record Aaron and I like the version of Who!!

[pax41]

I don't think that is Franklyn Baur and it does sound a bit like Helen. I was thinking the tenor is Lewis James.

Just lovely. Thanks!

Could the vocalists be Helen Clark and Franklyn Baur? This is a delightful post, and I thank you for sharing.
