"SING BABY SING" CHARLIE BARNET & HIS ORCH. BLUEBIRD 6593 P.1936
SING BABY SING
Here´s a catchy little tune by one of my favorite bands from the pre war era, Charlie Barnet & his Orchestra with "Sing Baby Sing" from 1936. The vocal on this great swinging tune is for sure, but not 100% sure Charlie Barnet him self!? The band was known as " The Blackest White Band Of Them All", listen and you´ll understand why.

"ROLL ALONG PRAIRIE MOON" SMITH BALLEW(voc) & HIS ORCH. MELOTONE 351006 P.1935
ROLL ALONG PRAIRIE MOON
One of many recordings of that song the year of 1935 (Harry Stockwell,Al Bowlly) & and on this recording we will hear the sadly less known Smith(Sykes) Ballew(born jan 21, 1902 in Palestine, Texas and he past away may 2, 1984 in Fort Worth,Texas) with his orchestra. I just love this song and think this is the best recording because of Smith Ballew´s warm and tender voice! The song came from in it´s orginal from the 1935 MGM movie "Here Comes The Band" with Harry Stockwell on voc. If you wanna know more about the guy go to the great site "Red Hot Jazz Archives" on the net.

This lady is one of my favorite female jazz singers,so cool and relaxed, and almost dreamy in her way of singing.

This tune comes from an English 78 rpm Columbia Record nr 1812 D, and recorded in 1929, New York City,USA. Have fun.
