>>130141669When are we getting a 1920s thread
Dat's right.
I don't trust that Hitler feller, guys. It's only a matter of time until he does something.
This Al Bowly fella is gonna be the biggest singer of the decadeJust watch what he does in the next couple of years!
>>130141669Only one more year of that communist cripple and Republicans are back in the White House.

Aw, Artie Shaw can't hold a candle to Goodman's boys.

>>130141816>>130141827What in Sam Hill are you two talking about?
Gone too soon.

>>130141857How come these negroes make such good music?
>>130141857>Webb died on June 16 of complications from spinal tuberculosis; Ella Fitzgerald took over his band, making her the first-ever female bandleader, and she held the job for three years until the wartime dissolution of big bands and changing trends made her move to being a solo singer inevitable.[9]

Check this banger out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRRR_alTZIY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riL4thgrfwYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c1PwH_BZ6YAlso Kay Starr makes her recording debut this year with two Glenn Miller sides. She was a fill-in here because the original singer Marion Hutton was out sick, and she hated these recordings because the arrangements were meant for Hutton's higher-pitched voice. That said, Kay was only 18 here and sounds pretty much like a kid, not at all like her mature voice you would be used to from her 50s hits.

If you fellas ever catch Major Bowles' Amateur Hour they got this little-snot nosed brat Theresa Breur who is a regular feature i suppose because audiences find a 2nd grader singing "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Don't Got That Swing" endearing. I vote for obnoxious myself.
>>130141775That fella's getting a lot of attention lately, the girls can't get enough of him. Don't see what the appeal is though.
Congratulations, Paul, you're officially a boomer now.
>>130142234Post it?
>>130142264I don't think it's actually scanned and online lol, I just found the cover funny.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hKwEf-rSZsAnd yeah, one of the year's big hits. A lot of critics hated her vocals at the time and said she was tuneless.

>>130142200Ran into her mother at the post office in Toledo last month. Absolute blowhard bragging to everyone in listening range how her daughter is going to be a singing sensation someday. God I hope not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9XfXNFV76QThis tune provided the inspiration for one of said little brat's >>130142200 bigger hits.

>>130142234There were lots of jazz boomers in that era saying how jazz died after 1928 or after the Original Dixieland Jass Band disbanded or something like that, they were called moldy figs.
>>130142701What did ragtimers think of dixieland jazz?
Oh right, even back then they had "that" kind of preachy song.
>>130141669Don't know where, don't know when...
>>130142785even Cuckgau hates this song which says a lot
>>130142833It says a lot about how much of a faggot he is
>>130142785https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi-nx50dQRAwell have a different Billie and her peppier young pre-drug fuckery voice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nvuHjCWvmcAlso Kitty Kallen's recording debut.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADmsjPgr_7kOh yeah, this guy...this guy.
>>130142909I'm amazed how little his voice changed over the years because a lot of the singers mentioned in here sound very different from their later postwar selves. You could pick a Como recording from nearly any decade of his career and hardly notice the difference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9rdxI66kaw
>>130142958He also this year recorded "The Missouri Waltz" with the original uncensored, problematic lyrics unlike most postwar versions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKWee4ZJ1QADidn't the fat lady have some other song that was a giant hit this year? Ah, I don't remember.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSHIBpzXngIConnie the dyke queen of jazz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI84IkcMgr4A lot of her records are missing from Youtube but Crosby said she was his favorite singer he ever collabed with. This could be just a generational thing though because they were only a few years apart in age and doubtlessly had a lot more in common than he did with someone like Rosemary Clooney.

>>130141691This thread was by popular request because someone said we did too many threads about the 40s-50s and not the 30s or whatever it was he said.
