Apart from being a good singer of ballads, Fred was, in my opinion, underrated in the movies: he was a natural "he-man" and a very refreshing presence in films
SERIOUSLY! THE ACTOR 🤔! COOL! thanks for SHARING!
What a rare joy listening to Fred sing with a band in 1929!
Wow! I'm today years old (67! LOL) and just learning Fred was a singer in a band. :)
Fred Mac Murray became a movie actor and ended up on Television. I remember My Three Sons. It was one of my favorite programs when I was growing up!!!

....thank you, Hans!
All good songs from this time period. I love the music from back then.
Great transfer job. It sounds so clear for being made 92 years ago.
OH! I LOVE THESE! What a selection of Beauties! "After A Million Dreams" sounds like a DREAM! It has that sound that gets Me! And I LOVE Gus Arnheim as well as Olson! "I`m In The Market For You" is and has always been a favorite!
Actually, only 'After A Million Dreams' was recorded in (late) 1929. The other two were recorded in February and March of 1930. For some perspective, this was 1 year before MacMurray's future Double Indemnity co-star Edward G. Robinson appeared in the role in Little Caesar that made him a star. And when Indemnity came out 14 years later, Robinson was initially hesitant to take the role because he would have take a backseat as co-star to MacMurray, after playing the lead in pretty much every film he was in since Caesar.
I never knew Fred MacMurray sang professionally. Great sounding transfers, as usual, Mr. Prozoot!
Super excellent
Great audio restoration work. I have not heard these tracks before today. Keep up the good work.
Wonderful recording!
Love it!
I love this post and I thank you for sharing it.
As always, superb sound!
PZ,
I think now Fred McMurray was underutilized as many talents as he had. He also played the Clarinet. I
thought he was great with Kate
Hepburn in Alice Adams/1935.
He should even played diverse
roles played his musical instrument
as well. I to watched My Three Sons on television Saturday Nights. They
were on ABC and CBS too. I believe
he also is Canadian as well.

Comparing this transfer of "I'm In The Market For You" with the older one that you've done 10 years ago (ua-cam.com/video/EpnTAS1Suc4/v-deo.html), I can hear that there's less background noise and a little bit more definition on the higher frequencies!
Thank you for getting even more sound from these platters!
....glad to hear you are enjoying the tunes -- yes, I have re-done a few favorites improving the sound. Wish I could re-do them all! Thanks for your comment!
Lovely
The lead saxophone heard at the 0:30 timing mark in “After a Million Dreams” is MacMurray, who was primarily a sax player in both orchestras. Years later, when he hosted "Hollywood Palace" and George Gobel was a guest, he poked fun at the recording:

Fred played the sax in the Disney movie "Follow Me Boys!" in the sixties.
@@TomDaly943: Yes, he did, on his re-plated and re-padded tenor sax in the “Happy Birthday” scene. He said it took him about three weeks to regain his embouchure-he wanted to play it rather than have another saxophonist over-dub the tones in synch with his fingers on the keys. Watching the scene and paying close attention to his embouchure and breathing confirms that he’s actually playing the instrument.
@jimdrake3436 there's an entertaining episode of The Jack Benny Show with Jack's band having a rehearsal. Among others, there's Fred on tenor, Tony Martin on clarinet and Kirk Douglas on banjo.
That's a great episode, and I'm glad you mentioned it because it's on UA-cam. You may know this, but Tony Martin (then Alvin Morris, his birthname) was a "doubler," a saxophonist and clarinetist with a California band before he became a singer. Another clarinetist, to my surprise, was Phil Silvers:

@@jimdrake-writer and so was Ken Murray
Rog - As always, another great transfer. Comin' to the APS show tomorrow or on Sunday? Would love to see you again. Your pal BH
....thanks, Bob -- glad you like the tunes. I have no plans for APS -- it's a long way to go for limited rewards! But I hope you do well!

THAT Fred MacMurray?????
How little wey know!
Not THE Fred MacMurray! I remember that he did have a good voice in films where he had to sing.But is he the Fred they mean?
....yes, that is the one! The photo is accurate for the period.
LUCK🎉
