So many of the actors, actresses of the 30's, 40's and 50's sang and danced... and some were very talented in those areas too, although they didn't pursue those talents.... the acting came first.
Fred MacMurray's 1930s looks are the model for the comic book hero, Captain Marvel. This according to artist C.C. Beck. Fred's greatest dramatic performance is Double Indemnity, kids. Check it out if you've never seen this great film noir.
Fred MacMurray recorded two vocals for Olsen: "I'm In The Market For You" and "After A Million Dreams" (omitted from Rust books). He recorded one vocal for Arnheim: "All I Want Is Just One". He played the sax in both bands.
What a lovely surprise. I love the sweet singers and had no idea Fred MacMurray was one! Quite a challenging song, too, with all the ups, downs and high notes. Both sides are charming. Thanks for sharing them.
If you've not seen any of his 1930s movies, I strongly recommend _Hands Across the Table_ , the best of several romantic comedies he made with Carole Lombard.
I think I'm in the Market for You was often used as an accompaniment for for silent movies shown on TV when I was a kid. Not that it was the original music, but it seemed to be a favorite of whoever prepare the films for broadcast.
I've known this tune for decades from the July 1930 Louis Armstrong version w. the big band he was fronting in the Los Angeles area then. Features Louis's vocal, nice trombone work from Lawrence Brown before he joins Duke Ellington, Ceele Burke's Hawaiian steel guitar work, a brief piano solo from Harvey Brooks. Lionel Hampton is on drums. The band gives a sweet sound as Louis often had in the early 1930s. I had never heard another version until now. Nice work.
Ooohhh...! Wonderful...! Beauty...! Qué melodías más bellas y melancólicas. ¡Las amo! La ''Banda Sonora'' de otros tiempos...; de los que fueron y que ya no están; que pasaron, como pasaremos, nosotros, alguna vez.
@patoman881 Fred MacMurray sang and played saxophone. He worked, for a time, in Gus Arnheim's orchestra. There's a story that Carole Lombard, a frequent MacMurray co-star (opposite whom Fred played a trumpet player in the Paramount film, "Swing High, Swing Low), threw a "swing band" shindig, one among her many "theme" parties, at which everyone was encouraged to pick up a rented instrument and jam -- MacMurray was the only guest who actually could play.
Fred MacMurray sang!? Wow, that's something I really didn't know! I love this song. Recorded during the temporary stabilization of the economy through overproduction of goods for both the domestic and export markets. Soon the high tariff placed on imports to the United States and the lack of demand for such an overabundant supply of goods would bring about the darkest years in modern civilization:-(
@Trombonology , In "Swing High, Swing Low" that amazing trumpet work is done by Frank Zinzer (the West Coast Bix!). He played first trumpet for Arnheim (1929-32) and lead trumpet at Paramount Pictures Studio Orchestra (1932-1950). He started with Max Fisher Orch. -- age 16 in 1927. You can see him in my photo of the band on the 1927, "Maybe I'll Baby You" post (in front of the banjo). BTW, the guy on string bass in that photo is also on camera with bass in "Flying Down To Rio."
i love george olsen but that photo of fred McMurray what a hunk . really one of the most beautiful men i have ever seen , i never knew growing up that the father on my three sons was such a sex symbol wow
I encourage you to watch _Hands Across the Table_ , one of several romantic comedies he made with Carole Lombard -- he's very good in the role, and very very appealing.
@VaudevilleSchtick101 , The B side is "Just Like In A Story Book", also from HIGH SOCIETY BLUES -- I'm really not sure who the vocalist is -- maybe Bob Rice (???)
This is one of my most favorit Olsen records ever "BOTH SIDES" I first heard it in the movie "Places In The Heart" and said I WANT THAT RECORD! Next week I found It in a Antique store called "The Red Barn" in Russellville Arkansas. Along with "Sunny Side Up" by Johnny Hamp`s Kentucky Serenaders. & " Minnie The Moocher" by Cab Calloway. That was around 1982. What A Day That Was! By the way there is a version of We`re Out Of The Red" in the movie I`m looking for, Does Anyone Know who recorded it ?
Hi Prozoot, I've been searching for an LP where Jack teagarden recorded with Eddie Condon around 1948. The theme song was "Down Among the Sheltering Palms" I'll appeciate it if you can put it on UA-cam as my LP disappeared long ago. Thanks.

Yet another unofficial rip that sounds much, MUCH better than the 'official' release UA-cam's ContentID points to in the description...
Good songs and vocal thank

BEEN THERE, SEEN THE FILM (A NUMBER OF TIMES, ON SCREEN AND TV. Apologies for appearing to shout.
Yep! That is the Fred I saw in 1930s and '40s US films. He could sing but didn't realise he started out as a vocalist! My goodness!
Vocals about markets and brokers, etc. etc., were topical when the stockmarket had just crashed. I just realised why he was singing about this.
What a gently, soft, beautiful und pleasant voice he had!!! What a pitty, that he didnt sang much more!!!
😱
Making films in the US might have been more lucrative. I knew he had a lyrical tenor voice, but this was a surprise.
Buen!!!!$!!!!mooo... 😊
Fred MacMurray recorded two vocals for Olsen: "I'm In The Market For You" and "After A Million Dreams" (omitted from Rust books). He recorded one vocal for Arnheim: "All I Want Is Just One". He played the sax in both bands.
"Just like all the heroes do / I’ll even go to work for you"
He really must love her.
Take a look at his superb handling of a concertina in The Princess Comes Across, 1936. Pure magic.
Great music

This is definitely a classic frozen in time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delightful
I had no idea Fred MacMurray was a singer. I listen to this song everyday. A very talented man. Thanks!
Fred MacMurray had a quiet, gentle heroic quality to him; was always a fan!
Loved the movie Egg & I....
Me, too!@@walterweddle7644
Always loved the little part with the bells... it's those kind musical phrases that makes me love this era's music so much!
this song is in a great pbs doc about the crash of 29 video is on youtube great video
One of my favorite docus, albeit a rather depressing one (no pun intended), and a bit painful to re-watch now. Best wishes.
Love fred McMurray
Ooohhh...! Wonderful...!
Beauty...!

Start listening at 2:16 - Is that a baritone sax DUET that we're hearing? It produces a very unique, distinctive sound - really rich and deep...
jlassie Indeed very special sound. Rarely heard.
@VaudevilleSchtick101 , The B side is "Just Like In A Story Book", also from HIGH SOCIETY BLUES -- I'm really not sure who the vocalist is -- maybe Bob Rice (???)
Love that 30s sound. It is so distinctive
parabéns seus canais são limdos felis 2016

Are there any sax solos on record by McMurray?
So easy to forget Fred's vocal career because of his lengthy film and television years. And doesn't he sound a bit like Rudy Vallee?
Like him better
boas orquestras
CONCUERDO TOTALMENTE CONTIGO ESTIMADO AMIGO''ANTONIO''
Be sure to always use genuine RCA phonograph needles on your Victrola phonograph players.
what's your method for extracting such SUPERB sonic results???
RCA CAMDEN, N.J. GONE😟
Same can be said for town itself = really a mess
Fred MacMurray! who knew?
I'm amazed he had such a high-pitched singing voice.
Hi Prozoot, I've been searching for an LP where Jack teagarden recorded with Eddie Condon around 1948. The theme song was "Down Among the Sheltering Palms" I'll appeciate it if you can put it on UA-cam as my LP disappeared long ago. Thanks.
ESTIMADO AMIGO ''BOB'',VEO QUE NO TE PIERDES OPORTUNIDAD DE CONTESTAR UN COMENTARIO
Sorry scotnick it's Fred. Doesn't sound anything like Frey
Yessir!
Did you remix this?
Prozoot, this 'Adrev' group is claiming a lot of your videos and spamming ads for profit off your uploads.
freddy frannily frings freely!
Did the singer use a microphone that is limited in quality?
Wonder why he went to acting
Maybe acting paid much better.
