San Francisco
Los Ange les
Swellegant dance tunes. Vocals are above
the average. Second ditty is from the Para-
mount flikker of the same name.
HENRY KING (0) i413, 1414
YOU AND I KNOW (FT)
IF YOU WERE SOMEONE ELSE (FT)
AN OLD FLAME NEVER DIES (FT)
GOOD-BYE JONAH (FT)
Four snappers from the musical production,
"Virginia." All are grand dance tunes and
the vocals are up to standard. Good.
FRANK FROEBA (0) 1418
NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW (FT)
DON'T SAVE YOUR LOVE FOR A
RAINY DAY (FT)
Froeba has picked the two hot tunes from
the Walter Wanger production of "52nd
Street" and given them a platinum musical
setting. Great dance material.
SHELTON BROS. (V) 5422
DEEP ELEM BLUES No. 3
GO LONG, MULE
For hillbilly spots you can't find much bet·
ter this month than Decca's 5422. The Shelton
Brothers do a nice job on all of their discs
and here is one that has wider appeal than
IJrevious efforts.
CONNIE BOSWELL (V) 1420, 1421
WHISPERS IN THE DARK
THAT OLD FEELING
AFRAID TO DREAM
THE LOVELINESS OF YOU
With Be n Pollack and his ork. backing her
up, Connie, Decca's charm girl, COII:les through
with four naturals. All are picture tunes and
Connie does a marvelous job of vocalizing.
HARRY ROY (0) 1426
YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR GAL-I
STOLE BACK THE GIRL-MY HONEY'S
LOVIN' ARMS (FT)
CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT
LOVE-I'M JUST CRAZY 'BOUT MY
BABY- EVERYBODY LOVES MY BABY
(FT)
Another one of those knockout Harry Roy
foxtrot arrangements. This is just as good as
the previous ones. Get it!
HENRY BUSSE (0) 1425
THE V AMP (FT)
FIT AS A FIDDLE (FT)
Vocal choruses would never be popular with
the Busse fans . It's the superb trumpet work
of Busse they want to hear, and this disc
brings forth a nice amount of it. Excellent for
dance spots.
BRUNSWICK
Every Artist an ARTIST!
BEN POLLACK (0) 1424
SONG OF THE ISLANDS (FT)
I'M YOURS FOR THE ASKING (FT)
True showmanship on the part of Decca is
displayed in the making of this disc. Pollack
does a new and. interesting version of the old
Hawaiian favorite and couples it with a cur-
rently popular ditty. Tops.
JAN GARBER (0) 1423
LOVE OR INFATUATION (FT)
JUST A MEMORY (FT)
Here is a Jan Garber disc that all can use.
It combines a hit tune from the new Para-
mount pix, "This Way Please," and the old
favorit e, "Just a Memory." Very good.
HUGH & SHUG'S RADIO PALS (HB) 5428
WHEN Y':: U WORE A TULIP
THE LITTLE GIRL DRESSED IN BLUE
Two cl i dandies, and they were dandies
an d sung from coast to coast, are brought for-
ward again and offered in a style that war-
rants your consideration. String band with
loads of singing. Highly recommended.
MELOTONE
DICK McDONOUGH (0) 7-10·04
HA VE YOU GOT ANY CAS'I'LES,
BABY? (FT)
LOVE IS ON THE AIR TONIGHT (FT)
Two hit tunes from the "Varsity Show."
This recording is equal to the best on the
market. Lyrics are especially well handled.
Recommended.
GENE AUTRY (V) 7-10-58
THE ONE ROSE
I HATE TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE
PRAIRIE
Autry and "The One Rose That's Left in My
Heart" ... a perfect combination. Right good.
Second side brings Autry and Jimmy Long
singing, yodeling and playing. Very good.
ARTY HALL (HB) 7-10-59
DOWN IN THE OLD HOME TOWN
THE STORY OF SEVEN ROSES
Old-time singing and piaying of the type
that will click with the folks that like this
sort of material. Nice harmony, every word
as clear as crystal. Good.
DECCA
IMMEDIATE REl:ORD SERVIl:E
FREDDIE FISHER (0) 1400
I'M A DING DONG DADDY (FT)
WABASH BLUES (FT)
The sizzling syncopation of Fisher and his
men reaches a new high on this knockout
disc. Both are exceptionally well recorded,
clever, snappy, and spiced with a drop or
two of humor. Recommended.
AMBROSE (0) 1406
GANGWAY (FT)
LORD AND LADY WHOOZIS (FT)
Ambrose, England's premiere maestro, pre-
sents two numbers from the new Jessie Matth-
ews picture, "Gangway." In his ultra-smooth
dance style Ambrose really turns in two fin-
ished musical prodUctions. "Lord and Lady"
is by far the best of the two. Vocals are ca-
pably handled, music is catchy and sticks
with you for a long time. Very good.
LOUIS ARMSTRONG (0) 1408
I'VE GOT A HEART FULL OF
RHYTHM (FT)
ALEXANDER'S RAGTIME BAND (FT)
Tearing away, for all he's worth, Louie puts
these two over in true showmanship fashion.
His risley vocals on the second, plus the hot
cornet, makes it a natural for smart ops.
FRANK CRUMIT (V) 114
ABDUL ABULBUL AMIR
A GAY CABALLERO '
One of the first records Decca made but
still right up among the topnotch novelty num-
bers of today. Crumit really can put a song
over and these two will find a ready recep-
tion on almost any phonograph any time.
GLEN GRAY (0) 1412
FOR YOU (FT)
CASA LOMA STOMP (FT)
On" of the most beautiful numbers ever
written, "For You" gets Al treatment at the
hands of the Casa Lomas. Second tun~ will
always remain popular, too. It's a grand disc
and one that you will want. Tops.
