- Justin LaVoie plays Irving Berlin's "There's No Business Like Show Business" on the 4/36 Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, MI. Based on an arrangement by master theatre organist George Wright (1920-1998).

Absolutely wonderful! Joseph Seal in Kingston-upon-Thames, Dudley Savage in Plymouth and Reginald Dixon in Blackpool, we're masters of their craft and created a sound and style that was unique to each of them. May they Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory, Amen.
Dropping by again to hear your play this wonderful song. God Bless You Justin. Happy Easter 2024.
Boy, did this make me happy!
Brilliant! The only thing missing is Ethel Merman. I'm suprised theater organ makers haven't come up with an Ethel Merman stop!
I was thinking the exact same thing! Probably my favorite movie of all time is It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Ethel was the star among stars in that show. ✨️ ❤
They did, but they call it a post horn.
And that’s how a theater organ should be played! Bravo!
Almost makes you wanna get some popcorn and answer the trivia question: "What famous comedian played Tom Hanks' brother in 'Splash'"?
Fabulous American Wurlitzer sound 👌 Full bass and brass sound ♥️
I love it! LOL. Such showmanship! Elegant and Classy. Thanks for sharing. I'll be back.
For all us George Wright fans, that was a real treat. Beautiful!
Fantastic! My childhood piano teacher was the world famous Rosa Rio (who lived to be 107) and she performed on these magnificent Wurlitzer pipe organs her entire life, up to a month before she died.
Outstanding and uplifting! Classic Americana, played on a classic Americana musical instrument. Thank you for recording and posting.
Whatever you do, don’t give up playing!Excellent job!
Pipe organs are awesome
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you Wish more were posted from the Detroit Fox Wurlitzer!!!
what a hot player=so cool-extraordinary talent I am so envious.
Love it! I have a dream to either play or hear played live at either the St. Louis or Detroit Fox Wurlitzers much of GW's arrangements as they were played at the San Francisco Fox farewell concerts. Several that come to mind are "The Burning of Rome," "Showboat Medley," "South," and "Pine Top Boogie."
Can't believe that amazing theatre was demolished.
@@neilrobinson1761 The organ as installed at the El Capitan is admittedly lovely.
You play that Wurlitzer like a boss!
Brilliant!!!
Love this! Thanks!
Boy, was some STELAR playing! Justin, you made that thing rock! I got to play the St. Louis Fox a few months ago. The Fox Special organs will do just about anything you ask them too. It's really something incredible, when you get to an instrument of that size, you don't play it, IT PLAYS YOU!! There's so much tonal variety and color there you almost don't know what to do with it all! Again, lovely playing!
Very fine! 😁
This makes me so happy, it brought the biggest smile, thank you for your art!
Awesome Man! Would love to hear you play in person someday!
Reminds me of that great Barton Pipe Organ at the old Chicago Stadium.
Justin, your movement with your body shows that you were enjoying playing this wonderful song. You did a fantastic rendition of playing this song. I use to play the Hammond Organ years ago and still enjoy the sounds of the organs. (CA)
From Annie get your gun..good classic

From a massive Reg Dixon fan, G.W would have been proud!

Awesome Justin!
Very impressive!!! 🎶
Génial ❤❤❤❤
gréât stuff
If it sounds this good on my phone, how good must it sound in person
By any standards this is a great performance and a great video but, am I correct in thinking that the Fox Wurlitzer is still playing on its original pneumatic relays and wiring? If that's so then I'm even more impressed.
Yes. He took this video while the participants of the SYA were exploring the pneumatic relay in the basement.
Unfortunately one of the divisions of the organ is in boxes in the chamber so the organ isn't even in full working condition in this video. A little while after the filming of this video, the 32ft stop got stuck on lol.
So how long does it to take to tune one of those?
Is the Detroit Fox Wurlitzer currently in playable condition?
I thought pants with rivets were a no no at the organ bench. ;)
Well, remove his pants!
@@21stcenturyozman20 Are you familiar with Bench Stiction? ;)
@@DandyDon1 No, I wasn’t, but have now looked it up. PX how it relates to playing the organ (with or without pants on).
@@21stcenturyozman20 Then there is the dreaded and at times dangerous Howard Seat. A real b*ll buster.... ;)
When you play like that, you are allowed to make your own rules.
