Wow

I remember him at on early tv doing performances, at the twilight of his career. Very nice, even iconic, singer. He is missed.

This is a re-issue from a 1931 Victor. A recording strike was declared by the

American Musicians Union for 1943 , The song was revived in "Casablanca"

and a record was needed for sale. Victor issued it in a dubbed

master, and oddly, in the US paired it with an Artie Shaw tune. I don't know

if foreign issues used the dubbed master. Rudy himself said in his memoirs

that he didn't care for this record because it was a rush job recorded

when he had a slight cold and the key was too high.

This was not sung through a megaphone. In fact none of Rudy's recordings were sung through a megaphone

[10jimharper]

This proves that certain songs need to be sung through a megaphone.
