  • @TheMelongrove Fitzgerald recorded these in 1940. Scottie and Sheilah Graham were with him when he recorded them. An account of the recording appears in Andrew Turnbull's biography. You can't hear the mid-west in his speech???

  • @TheMelongrove This is not a British accent. Also, accents change throughout time and a midwestern accent did not sound as it does today. Just watch any old movie and listen to their voices.

  • Who is someone trying to kid? This is not the voice of F.Scott Fitzgerald who had a mid-western accent. It's some phony guy with a British accent. Many people will probably not know the difference.

  • Thank you for sharing this!

  • where did this recording come from?
