Andy.....
Herbert L. Clarke's "Bride of the Waves"? The Duncan Sisters?
Gems of centuries past! Thanks!
Apparently, "Bride of the Waves" stayed in the Victor catalogue for ages--people couldn't get enough of this stuff.
The Duncan Sisters are neat--and now almost totally forgotten. "Baby Sister Blues" was an early song by Marian Sunshine, who was chiefly known for Latin-American numbers.
I'm glad you're still enjoying this!
Andy....
As I recall, didn't The Duncan Sisters continue their "blackface" routines into the 1960's?
And jazz fans who read Gene Lees' superb "Leader Of The Band - The Life Of Woody Herman" may remember this....when trumpeter Allen Vizzutti joined The Herd around 1975, Woody wasn't totally sold, so trumpeter Nelson Hatt made a cassette of Vizzutti's work for Woody to listen to.
After Woody heard it, he spoke to
Hatt:
Hatt: "Well, what do you think?"
Woody: {pardon my French and politically incorrect speak here- these are Woody's words, not mine} "Jesus Christ! He makes Herbert L. Clarke sound like a fag!"
