Thanks to KZfaq for keeping these wonderful old songs available to us, to hear once again and to pass along to our grandchildren who don't even know yet how much they will love them. You do a service to our next generations.

Andrew, Sousaphones? Aren't they the ones that you have to peer into to see the player inside them, puffing away? Bassoons are another but not as comical. The sousaphone would get a lot of work playing jazz like this. Well done. Do you remember him?

That is astounding. I was just doing some research on my grandmother whose maiden name was Lawton (Florence Emma). She used to frequent Blackpool regularly back in the day and I knew she had some connection to the Hylton Band. Her father was Clem and she had two sisters Louisa, Medora and a brother Horace. I'd just come to the conclusion that her father played Sousaphone in the band (though in my ignorance I called it a Tuber). Anyway your name and comment seems to confirm that. I am still trying to get a photo of Clem to see if there's much of a likeness. I hope you see this. It might be a wonderful coincidence or a total disappointment if the dates and names don't match.

The song was the big hit in a 1929 Broadway revue, 'Follow Thru'. A reprise of it, the 16th of 19th numbers, was a wordless solo dance by a 16 year old who had just learned to tap. It got her noticed, and she went on to become the greatest dancer ever filmed. Her name was Eleanor Powell.

Toe tappingly good. A great fun recording. In the right circumstances this music could still be most enjoyable

This song came from a 1929 American Film called "Follow Thru". "I want to be bad" was meant to be the big hit song of the film, but "Button up your overcoat" in the end became the biggest and best known hit.

Originally it was a duet (I think there is a video on here somewhere) with some lines sung by a man to a woman and some vice versa. This explains the line that sounds odd in the recordings by female singers "wear your flannel underwear when you climb a tree."

One of my favourite Hylton recordings, in a very fine transfer. Thank you! My copy is much more worn...And what a fine arrangement! Do you know who arranged the music for the Hylton band in the late twenties, early thirties?

@lunarman29 11 жыл бұрын

So the thread runs from Stravinsky to Henderson and eventually to the future sounds of big band! How bizarre.

The other recordings say "you'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum" but this one seems to say "you'll get a pain-a-roo in your tum-tum", right? Adorable.
