CLASSICS & CURIOS
"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"
Episode 46
Eddie Hubbard & the Browsers: Boop-Boop-a-Doop, "The Music Goes 'Round
and 'Round, and It Comes Out Here"
Helen Kane is famous for her recording "I Wanna Be Loved By You" with
her playfully flirtatious "boop-boop-a-doop" style, but impressionist
Mae Questel later took over the voicing for the cartoon character Betty
Boop and recorded songs in that same style. She was known as the
"Personality Singer of Personality Songs" in 1930, impersonating, as she
did, Fanny Brice, Marlene Dietrich, Ruth Etting, Eddie Cantor, Rudy
Vallee, and Maurice Chevalier. One of her songs appears on this Browsers
show from 1999: "The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round, and It Comes Out
Here" -- hardly a classic version of that great song but certainly a fun
curio for the Browsers. Other recordings on this show are more
traditional and even "classically" popular. For example, Connie Francis
sings her third number 1 hit "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" from
1962. Kitty Kallen does her 1959 hit "Because You're Mine," and Connee
Boswell performs a super rendition of "Mostly Martha" based on a French
song written by a German composer in 1847. Freddy Martin brings his
"Symphony" version which shared the song's number 1 position in 1946
with the Ink Spots and Eddie Howard. Coleman Hawkins does "Some of These
Days" with vocalist Annie de Reuver, and the good tunes just keep coming
with Glenn Miller's "At Last" from the movie "Orchestra Wives," Buddy
Rich sings "Goody, Goody" as Harry James joins in on drums in a 1957
concert in Vienna, and Benny Goodman performs "You're a Sweetheart."
Eddie plays Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain" and a "Hit Parade"
favorite tune "Nevertheless." Special for me is "I Can't Begin to Tell
You" by Bing Crosby with lyrics that take me back to my "courting" days
when I was too shy to "whisper sweet nothings" to a girl friend. Then I
heard Bing sing, "So take the sweetest phrases the world has ever known,
and make believe I said them all to you." What a great line! But it was
so perfect that I saved it for the girl of my dreams, and now that girl
has been my wife for 50 years and counting! Concerning trivia questions
there are sticklers concerning band leader Sammy Kaye, girl singers who
sang songs with girls' names, Kitty Kallen's biggest hit recording, and
Phil's "Phooler." The tune "The Entertainer" closes the show, although
the station spoiled it all by cutting in just before the song ends. At
such times of momentary irritations I like to think of Mother Teresa's
thought: "Remember that you have only one soul ... that you have only
one life ... If you do this, there will be many things about which you
care nothing." For now let the Browsers put our focus on some things we
do care about as they bring to mind some sweet melodies and precious
memories.
Thanks to Jerry Haendiges Productions for adapting Eddie's original
studio tape for highest quality rebroadcast.
====================================
Make Believe Ballroom Time
Episode 5
In December 1946 Tommy Dorsey was one of eight big band leaders who shut
down their bands for good. They believed the big band era had come to a
close. Two tears later, Tommy Dorsey began a come-back aimed at "the
kids of America who deserved a chance to dance to the big bands again".
This program starts with the Dorsey band of 1946 with Tommy broadcasting
from Los Angeles with his special [removed] Ellington. The program
goes on to 1953 with the Dorsey band "alive and well" in New York City
broadcasting from The Stattler Hotel on NBC. You'll find all this with
facts about Tommy and stats about the year [removed] you know the
microwave oven was introduced at that time? Check us out on " It's Make
Believe Ballroom Time"
