    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"
