Back in the early days of this blog, I did a post on Harold Arlen and his contribution to the American Songbook. In it, I included his version of "Stormy Weather" with Leo Reisman's Orchestra as well as one of my favorites by The Reigning Sound.

It's fucking bright purple sugar-water for Christ's sake, how bleeding healthy was [...]
