what is this kind of music called by the way? ive heard this kind of music in the 30's 50's 60's. was wondering if its a genre.

[Aaron1912]

Today it would be classed as: easy listening music. In the first half of the 20th century it was all simply called: Dance music. Each decade had a unique genre. Ragtime, Jazz, Swing. Back then there were hundreds of dance styles and tens of thousands of dance halls, dance bands, and dance orchestras.

I want to know about the turntable did you have to speed up the 33rpm sound? Or is the turntable 'effect'? How can you play original '78's? They

're great anyway

[Aaron1912]

The turntable plays in 78rpm speed.

i love cantor's, jones', and any version of this tune....this is very good also. the other side of this is a nice version of under a texas moon, i believe; maybe you could post it...thanks for your great work. so nice to have someone like you who takes great care to do a terrific job. keep it up.

[Aaron1912]

Thanks, but the other side of this record is 'A Girl Friend Of A Boy Friend Of Mine'. I uploaded it a few weeks ago.

I bought this record in 1930 from a store that was going out of business because of the Depression. It was a sad time for America, but not a sad time for music. It was great back then.

The Prohibition Era was the last highstyle era. Some might argue, convincingly, that the '55-'57 span was the most recent/last pinnical for flair (in fashion & design but certainly not music), and to that I won't argue. As for me.... God, give me a one-way ticket to 1920.

[SatchmoSings]

This version and the one done by Great Britain's Bert Ambrose (Sam Browne vocal) are my two favorites.

@dianamaryflorence How old are you? :P

[ChristophePhilippe]

Who's is the vocalist? He's excellent. Sounds a little like Eddie Cantor, but he can actually swing.

[TCDS75]

Preciosa ............... César

[baghend]

Great. Thanks

Check out the Jack Payne version for a little faster tempo- wonderful as well.

Thanks for this

Bill in Canada

How could anything like this be called "Easy Listening." It's much better!

[TheMaxx111]

@Aaron1912 It looks like a rebadged Numark.

[albertsystem]

This version was used by Dick Hyman to do the arrangement for the Woody Allen's movie "Everybody Says I Love You"
