Copyrighted February 13, 1931, released February 14, 1931. This is a rather humdrum short made interesting by the presence of both Red Nichols and Jack Teagarden.

I love Mr. Vaudeville! His delivery is so much fun and his music is delightful!

Without Doc Lewis, the Depression would have been a way-bleaker and darker time than it was. Later they called him "corny," but that corn lifted up very many that needed it. ("Egyptian Ella" is one of his more outstanding Twenties efforts. For my money, it is one of the best of such renditions. Lots-o-fun!) . : .

I really enjoyed this slice of early Depression Era music. Things had gotten really tough by 1931, songs like this meant to lift peoples' spirits and hopes weren't uncommon and Ted Lewis was tailor-made to deliver them. A one-of-a-kind entertainer (like Maurice Chevalier later) who also fronted a decent band in the 20's and 30's...nothing like Miller or Dorsey but a bouncy little unit playing happy music.

He seems to have been more than just an orchestra leader but more of a mothership of Jazz from another world. He spawned a generation of greats and encouraged entertainment to accompany music. Without him the world is no longer happy.

This was about entertaining. And jazz is an auxiliary part.

What a ham! What an ego! I love the story about the time his band was recording, or maybe it was a radio broadcast, with a very young Benny Goodman in the band. After Benny played a terrific sold, Ted exclaimed "Play it Ted!" What an ego!

@harryoakley 7 жыл бұрын

Unlikely story. On "Dip Your Brush In The Sunshine" Lewis repeatedly shouts "Play it Benny", during the latter's solo. He does the same for Muggsy Spanier during his cornet solo. Lewis was known for employing great jazz musicians, whom he gave all the credit they deserved and he never claimed to be a great jazz musician himself.

@@danielscuiry2847 lewis wasn't a singer at all, more like a leader and showman. Tucker was a vaudeville, there is her living appearances on KZfaq. Don Redman did the same, and Earl Hines have a proto rap record ,,have you ever felt that way,, making more atmosphere record than just sing with band
