Although I am confused. At the end, the one newscaster says Rudy was paid $4000 a week, and the other newscaster says “ouch”? Even by today’s standards $4000 a week is very very good, but in if adjusted for inflation in 1929, $4k a week would be around $67,600 today.
In two of his three autobiographical books, Vallee said that Gene Austin was the first crooner, but that Austin disliked the ballads he was given to record by the Victor company and was a jazz and blues singer at heart. Although Vallee recorded several blues songs, including “St. Louis Blues,” he sang them in the same style as his ballad recordings.

His name was VALLEE.
Rudy Vallee was a great performer. No mention of late 1920s and early 1930s pop music would be complete without talking about his contribution.
¡¡¡Ídolo!!!
