- Rex Blaine is no 'Stoney Stonedwell' on this Bing Crosby hit from “The Big Broadcast.” Per Johnson-Shirley--but not DAHR--this first 78 to be released under the “Tom Berwick” banner was directed by trumpeter Sid Peltyn.

Amazing that one can hear a voice from 1932 is still heard. I show my students old broadcasts of radio shows of the 1930's and 1940's. Most do not get the jest of the era, but they have gotten use to me playing different genres. I will play silent films, short comedy sketches like Abbot & Costello, Buster Keaton, Faye Ray, swing & big bands, and presentations like that. I will always change the mood of the classroom's environment. Something will catch the interest of an individual student. I have classical music, blues, mariachi, banda, taiko drums, salsa, and I will take directions from students for interest. I enjoyed the music you have uploaded. Continue the music!
Thanks for doing what you do. Young people of today need to know that prior to mid-last century, guitars and percussion did not dominate performance or recorded music as now. It's so refreshing to hear Art Deco and Swing Era music done by musicians who could actually read music, play and blend together as a unit.
Really like this one. I did think of Bing.
I really like the song. First time I heard it was in the 60s by Frank Ifield. Then Mr. Crosby and now this one.
Great song, wonderful band. songs great when I play song in my 1927 home. Been here for 70+ years, and all the old songs are great!
It's a matter of historical taste; this was a throwback to the Twenties [which, by this point must have been an exercise in deep nostalgia for many], and Bing's even more upbeat version was a hopeful introduction to the future.
30s, rather.
A superb rendition.Encore Maestro.
A very peppy arrangement for its time. Enjoyable throughout.
What a treat! They all are enjoyable and Please be aware how much we appreciate your posts!👍🎷🎺🎹🎻🪕🥁🪗
Our pleasure, Robert!
Brilliant
These Records have a GREAT Sound, I have this one in My collection, And adore it! I LOVE Your Site Bob!
Wonderful.Takes.me.back.a.long while.Memories!
Very nice
I really wish i lived in that era when this kind of music was alive 💜
But - you are!
If you know where to look!
This jaunty arrangement, though perhaps at odds with the supplicating nature of this number, is very pleasing, with good reed and brass work. Rex, sounding rather lackluster in spite of his alpha male name, sure couldn't have worried Bing any.
Delightful
I love this one and I thank you for sharing.
Great Voice!
Шикарно, прелестно!
That translates to: Gorgeous, lovely!
I agree!!
@@Shintaro99 gorgeous, lovely.)
Finally! I was searching for this music since I've heard it in Betty boop's cartoon.
Thank you so much!
Sold exclusively at Woolworth's.
neat to know that!
More Rudy Vallee than Stoney Stonedwell/Rocky Rockwell/Stan Freberg, methinks. Wow! Three full choruses! Bet this issue sold almost three dozen copies.
Ahhh thank you Rex for that lovely number-um…
Portic and prett
There seems to be a 'British' sound that this band has. The saxophones have a tight scoring. Jack Jackson's early to mid thirties band exgibits this tight drive. Not swing as such but something enjoyable in its own right
Exhibits!
Electradisck: "Budget talent at budget prices!"
No wonder this label was folded so quickly by Victor.
Some interesting stuff appeared on this label, but of lot of it was pure "stank."
Electradisk had a purpose. Paid $1000 flat no royalties. Lots of bands during the depression were more than happy to do that just to survive. Most of their bands are NYC based because their studios at Victor in Camden, NJ was an easy cheap day trip by train.
@@MikeJones-do1xv ...still "stank."
@@rareblues78daddy Welcome to your opinion I guess…
@@MikeJones-do1xv I've had more of these records go through my hands than you'll ever see if your lifetime, guaranteed. Despite the nature of *this* account I'm posting from, I can assure you... I more than know my shit when it comes to things like this. Opinion, my ass. Facts, son.
@@MikeJones-do1xv Have you ever rebuilt a 4-spring 1926 Victor motor, Mike?
Was this a pseudonymous outfit or did they really play at the long-gone old New York Ritz ? Before Richard Himber/Joey Nash ? Or, Boston Ritz?
Bing is at his early heartthrob best and the Anson Weeks band ( Bing dropped in on Anson and his band a few times but his brother Bob was a fixture with that band, and quite good) is at the height of its national popularity and in peak form. The amazing Griff Williams, later beloved in Chicago as Anson was in California , might have done the arrangement here , fresh out of ? Stanford? ( Griff's grandson is Basil Twist , the King of Modern puppetry!)
I think the band takes this rather plaintive song too quickly. Ambrose with Sam Browne has it about right; Jack Payne did a post-BBC Dance Band version with him as vocalist on the UK's Imperial label at about the same time.
Seems much more "1925" than '32. Do I hear C-melody saxophones in the reed section? Could do without the nasal tenor "singin' thru a megaphone" vocal sound. Straight instrumental would have been more listenable by emerging mid-30s standards.
Lovely upbeat melody, but I'm not particularly blasted away by the vocals, there were much better, warmer around, think Sam Browne.
