\u201cI\u2019m Mad About You\u201d is one of several songs featured on Radio Dismuke from Noel Coward’s<\/a> 1928 revue This Year Of Grace<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“If You’re Really And Truly In Love” not only has a nice interpretation by the Billy Cotton<\/a> Band,\u00a0 the recording’s fidelity is excellent given that it was recorded in 1931.\u00a0 At the time the major labels were experimenting with improved microphones and cutting lathes and some releases during this period were quite impressive.\u00a0 Sadly, it was necessary for the labels to dial back the improvements as the higher fidelity grooves were quickly destroyed by the steel needles on the wind-up phonographs still in widespread use<\/p>\n

“Tinkle Tinkle Tinkle\/Over My Shoulder” are two songs from the 1934 British movie musical Evergreen<\/em><\/a> performed here by actress Jessie Matthews<\/a> who also starred in the film.\u00a0 Matthews sang “Over My Shoulder” in the film but “Tinkle Tinkle Tinkle” was performed by Sonnie Hale.<\/p>\n

“Tangolita” is a pretty and very haunting song from Paul Abraham’s<\/a> jazz operetta Ball im Savoy<\/em><\/a> which opened in Berlin on December 23, 1932.\u00a0 A month later Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany.\u00a0 Soon afterward Abraham and several cast members, who were all Jewish, were forced to flee Germany. The production closed in April 1933 due to audience members being attacked and harassed by Nazi gangs.\u00a0 \u00a0All of the principals associated with this recording were ultimately impacted by the horrific events that followed.\u00a0 Paul Abraham survived the Holocaust from the safety of the United States but was unable to find work.\u00a0 He ended up spending a decade confined in mental hospitals.\u00a0 Ilja Livschakoff<\/a> also had to flee Germany but was able to resume his career in Argentina.\u00a0 Vocalist Paul Dorn, who was featured on hundreds of German dance band recordings beginning in the early 1930s, was drafted into the Wehrmacht<\/em> in 1940 and was eventually sent to the Eastern front.\u00a0 He was killed in late March 1945 during the bombing of Danzig<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
