A ‘Thoughtful’ Fantastic Foursome

Feb 4, 12:12am Geezer Music Club
The Very Thought of You -Al Bowlly
Something a little different on today's Fantastic Foursome. I'm still giving you four different versions of a song and asking for you to vote for your favorite, but I'll tell you right up front that I'll be voting for Nat King Cole. His rendition of "The Very Thought Of You" is one of my all time favorites. The song was written by bandleader Ray Noble in 1934, and it probably wouldn't surprise you to hear that one of the first hit records of the song featured his band and its star vocalist [...]

Snooky Lanson Had Lots Of Fans

Aug 28, 2012, 12:12am Geezer Music Club
Snooky Lanson Had Lots Of Fans Since we recently profiled Dorothy Collins , the sweetheart of TV's musical program Your Hit Parade , it seems only fitting that we follow up with the guy who often teamed up with her on the show. And even if Snooky Lanson wasn't quite as memorable as Collins (except for his improbably-cute name), he had plenty of fans and enjoyed a nice career of his own. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Snooky Lanson began life as Roy Landman, and first began appearing professionally in the late 1930s. Primarily a radio [...]

Song Swarm: Blue Moon

Feb 23, 2011, 6:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
The story of Blue Moon — its transition from a movie song that was rewritten several times to jazz song and then pop hit — was told in The Originals Vol. 40 , which included the first version, The Bad In Every Man, sung on film by Shirley Ross. This collection of 38 versions covers all manner of approaches. There are the early jazz interpretations, most of them with vocals (though Gene Krupa, Django Reinhardt and in 1944 the Cozy Cole Allstars do it instrumentally). Then it became something of a torchsong number in the hands of [...]

For the Boys…

Nov 12, 2006, 1:09pm The Pop View
Saturday morning brought the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. In 1918, that time brought Armistice, the end of World War I. The conflict was known at the time as "The War to End All Wars," a nice piece of savage irony. It was also called the Great War; later, they called its successor the Good War. So, if the wars decrease in quality as we go along, where are we now? There were many notable bands in the Thirties, but lots of people have a great affection for [...]
