It's. True. And. Welcome back everyone to the Ike's America radio program The Benny Goodman sextet giving us rose room a sextet that means are 6 of them they recorded this in October of 1939 Fletcher Henderson on the piano Charlie Christian on the electric guitar Artie Bernstein on bass Nick Fatou on the drums and the great Lionel Hampton on the vibraphone. They it was written way back in 1917 actually called in Sonny Roseland but Benny kind of jazz did up and. Turned it into a swing kind of thing and again welcome to Ikes America support for it is provided by Community Connections announcing their 16th annual festival of trees happening December 6th through the 8th to benefit kids and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across southwest Colorado inviting individuals businesses and families to sponsor a tree or wreath registration is open through tomorrow and more details are at Community Connections c o o r g. Well let's dive back into the program show we let's go back to 1939 again just will stay in that year why not here's a tune written by Frank Loesser with Fred Hollander from a film called Destry Rides Again that Marlena day trip starting with Jimmy Stewart and she sang it too which is always kind of weird but you'll see what I mean here is more Lena Dietrich and seen what the boys in the back room will have. The backbone. And tell them having. The. Backbone. And if the of poison. And when I die I know and then my mind. And then. Back. And tell them. And tell them. And tell them to get up. And when I don't. Handle. And channel them. And tell them my dad up. And find I don't I don't pay. C and. Her. Her. Her. This. And Neve. Move just Stevies stay. Mad at. Me. And. Long. All strata. Will. With our will float. Have to be. Divvied. One. 3rd. And. Be. Just 2. All that is my vote for the best title song tonight I came I saw all I conquer it. And charge Evans with how although in the Savoy hotel orchestra to NY written by 3 different people that you've probably never heard of and well it was a big hit back in the forty's for some reason. Billie Holiday before that and her version of it had to be you the great Jones Gus Kahn tune written way back in 1924 Billy's recording there in 1955 course Dolly Wilson really made it famous in Casablanca Diane Keaton did a great job with an Annie Hall as I recall too but it's a wonderful song Guy Lombardo and his orchestra Billie Leach providing the vocals on Speak low talk about Billie Holiday that's one she really made famous but obviously that wasn't her guy in the orchestra recording that one in 1944 tune written by Kurt violin Ogden Nash oddly enough occurred while he wrote all kinds of things usually wrote Bertold Brecht like The Threepenny Opera that sort of thing but I did Nash obviously just a poet that has poetry put to music and yeah Marlena Dietrich and let's see what the boys in the back room will have from death treat Rides Again Well here's June Hutton we're going to go to 1955 actually yes 1955 is the year Sammy Khan and Saul Chapman wrote this way back in 1936 but it is a beautiful song really it'll have to do until the real thing comes along. Its length. To. Lead. Oh. Oh Dana. Pointed. Of it. At me. Even though I doubt. 'd that there. Are a man. With a. And if. San. Diego end. To. End to Egypt. But too much of it there's. An end to. Him. In this. A. Bright golden haze on the. Bright golden haze on the job. A car is as. It's called. Poll. Of polls. Polls. Polls. Lol. Lol the last stand in life stats. Like stats. They don't. Run. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Things go down. Like music. This sounds. Like music. This is so. Don't miss sod true. We. Will. Leave. It In. That's actually the 1st tune that anyone ever heard from Rodgers and Hammerstein the opening to Oklahoma. Broadway musicals 1943 Gordon McCrea starred in the 1955 film that's what we just heard there he was currently opposite Shirley Jones in her film debut actually as Laurie but yeah 1st time I was that was the 1st tune that any audience heard from Rodgers and Hammerstein they would hear many more and they liked them. Before that Bill Canny and his ink spots with their friend Ella Fitzgerald into each life some rain must fall it's true otherwise it's you get a drought recorded Aug 30th of 1944 and also in there Jean Austin going way way back to 1926 a number one tune for him has anybody seen my gal that one had been floating around since 1914. Gene Austin a big big star of the 1920 s. 5 foot 2 eyes of blue and also in 1026 I get to thinking sometimes it's just I don't have to think what life was like back then and there were actually people living and going about their lives Chuck Berry was born this week in 1906 for example when the pope was published by a Milne this week in 1926 Frank Lloyd Wright was arrested in Minnesota for violating the Mann Act and for adultery he was with a woman from Montenegro apparently and also the daughter they bore together and he got in all kinds of trouble but. They dropped the charges against him so that was something this was the week that her Harry Houdini got punched in the gut by a woman in a Montreal theater he would die 9 days later from Penda situs no one was ever really sure if that the 2 were connected but maybe also with the baseball happening the Cardinals beat the Yankees this week in 1926 Game 7 they won 3 to 2 Babe Ruth was thrown out stealing to end the series and on a Saturday note Mussolini Benito took over the militia gaining control of all of the military in Italy so you know there was life in 1926 even though most of us weren't around to see it and we don't know a whole lot about it. And you have it I like history I can't help it if you can bear with me when I do these sorts of things but anyway we'll play more music that's really what we do here on Ike's America right. And here is Claude for health friend Robert Webber providing the vocals on a Sunday kind of love. Leg These are. The Sunday. Well. Glad but. Nowhere some other long. Oh I'm packing my grip. And I'm leavin today. Cause I'm taking a trip to California where. I'm gonna settle. And make for san. Make a new friend. Where the West begin. The sunset in. Where you are really should be. And it's the San Fernando told me. He will make it. So I'm hitting the trail. To the country. You can follow. Here of the. Role. And make the San Fernando Valley my home. And told me. His pack and. Even if. He. Told me what. This. Is truly should be. Better. I think that. Would. Be. Make that. Makes a. Leg. Low. Well I leave I heard you. And. Oddly the 2nd time we've heard from Geraldo in the summer why hotel orchestra this time with Cyril Grantham and doing some Gershwin a foggy day it was recorded the year that there was a one distress came out 1937 that's when the Gershwins wrote it one of the last things George did before he passed course Fred Astaire as he always did introduced it on film but for some reason Cyril Grantham and Geraldo put out a hit record it worked Sarah Vaughan heard from her earlier but we're going to hear from her again. In fact we did hear from her again that's my man's gone now some more Gershwin with Dubose Howard who wrote the novel Porgy and Bess. We heard Carmen and Sammy do something from Porgy and Bess earlier but I say we can never get enough Johnny Mercer saying in his own tune that he wrote with Gordon Jenkins and singing with the Barrys apparently was the name of the group San Fernando Valley was from January of 1944 much different San Fernando Valley than the one Frank Zappa would sing about the 1000 he says with his 14 year old daughter Moon Unit but times change don't they and a Sunday kind of love what a just a beautiful beautiful song became Fran Weber's kind of signature song though for my money Etta James had the biggest hit in 1960 but not oh no one ever cracked the top 40 with that as good a song as it was. Oh well what he going to do Louis Prima actually co-wrote that song with Barbara bell and I need a Leonard Stan Rhodes anyway doesn't sound like his kind of thing but it I don't know what part he contributed to the song well let's get in one more set of music shall we before we hand things over to the folks at the retro cocktail hour here's a Judy Garland from Meet Me in St Louis. A leave that there for you baseball fans by the boy next door Judy Garland from 1944. We'll see you. Soon. I'm. Gonna. Do you really need is. To never know when. That certainly should say. Minutes. Next. Oh. When your luck is 0. 0. 0. In a new goal. But. Hard but I don't. Say. You're gonna have. The time. I'm not. Saying. That's when the green shoots. Is baton 0. 0. 0. 00. 000000 s. . I Mummy. Mummy Mummy a week to. Able. To play so many tunes from the movies why not finish things off with another great one from Johnny Mercer who raid for Hollywood Johnny sketch Davis playing along with Francis Langford there Johnny was actually in the middle of a 3 year contract with Warner Brothers and he and Richard Whiting kind of were forced to write this music for the 1937 film called Hollywood Hotel Benny Goodman orchestra stars as guest stars and it's very strange but. You know Johnny I guess they say he could write songs in his sleep so Eddie my love was the teen queens in 1956 hit for them when I really the only one that was a. Reelection year was 1956 Maxwell Davis and Aaron Collins wrote it now Maxwell played sax on that tune and he my love an Aaron Collins was the brother of assist.
