A different side of Inspector Javier and Capt. Bligh.

4:44- KEN MURRAY: "And where were you born, Miss?'" MARIE WILSON: "In Anaheim, in a grapefruit grove!" KEN: (staring at her chest) "Well, that explains a lot of things......."

This is a hot arrangement

Chopin would have loved it..!

I played bass and tuba on the DORE 45rpm "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" This song came out a little later. I left before that recording and was in a great traveling band. Just as well, I loaned him $500. and he never paid me back. No respect for Jr. NONE. I also have 4 songs we recorded at the Warner-Brothers Studio. A great sounding cassette off the sub-master tape Reel. Songs never released. Wonder if they're worth anything. Maybe I can get me $500 back. LOL.

When I was a child, my father used to sing a version of this song to us kids. LOVE Laughton's performance!

My brother David Taylor was associated with all these fellows and I met all of them .. (I was maybe 15). The rehearsals were at quality cleaners, I think. This was long ago. I thought it was just so cool to listen to a band working out.

One of the bands I played in (drums) during teen years. Based in New Bern, N.C. "Animal John" Riggs on Hammond B 3, Marshall Downing, lead, Fender Strat, Emmett Williams, rhythm, Fender Strat, Dickie Burroughs, Fender Jazz Bass, David McFadyen, Ludwig Hollywoods (I still have them). Not our best effort, but a good time. Flip side was House of the Rising Sun.

So FUN!!!

The verse uses the same tune as "Sweet Violets", which also requires the listener's dirty little mind to fill in the blanks.

As far as I can tell, this was the earliest recorded version that was released in this general time frame. There was a Roy Eldridge/Chu Berry small band session for Decca from Feb 5, 1936, but this didn't come until until Jerry Valburn's "Jazz Potpourri" LP in 1983. If the research is accurate, Fletcher Henderson's band was slaying live with this song starting in January 1936. But somehow they were only the 6th act to get into the studio and record it! (March 27, 1936). Also preceded by Andy Kirk, Bob Crosby, and Benny Goodman.

interesting he could whistle! according to many, homosexuals can't!

Recording date: 2/28/36....

By the way, the personnel on this date were: Louis Garcia-trumpet, Morey Samel-trombone, Joe Marsala-clarinet, Herbie Haymer-tenor sax, Adrian Rollini-piano, Carmen Mastren-guitar, Sid Weiss-bass, Don Darcy-vocal. Drummer-unknown.

Now that'sa classic. Lol

I hear tony and roul

This was made decades before the assumption song

This track is unfortunately running almost full tone sharp! So is actually playing faster than they were actually performing this piece.

No question this is great, and Edmond Hall is no question the hottest clarinetist in jazz history, but THE recording of High Society is by Kenny Ball on the LP Midnight In Moscow. If you don't believe me, or if you've never heard it, go find it and listen to it, especially through the headphones. It will make your hair stand on end.

Hell yeah!!!

Love this!! Thank you!

Beautiful!

Excelente música del recuerdo amigo

Man! This Mr Laughton was an incredible actor. From the Canterville Ghost to It Started with Eve. What a repertoire!

Charles could do say "hee-ah" correctly. He said it better than Dan Akroyd.

Is there anything Laughton couldn't do?

Gotta love seeing pros just having FUN and doing it for a laugh =)

So graceful little boy huh

This song appears to be a very early version of "The World's Dirtiest Song" or "The Assumption Song" recorded by artists such as Bird & Mcdonald and Vito Petroccitto Jr., the latter of which's version is often mistakenly credited to The Arrogant Worms.

Dirty tune; very 🤣!

Love Ernie!!

In very loving memory of Mr. Edward Truman Beal (1910 - 1984 R.I.P. // Gone but NOT forgotten).

Charles Laughton magnificent actor, this is lovely. Thank you ❤️

A LOST S.F. PSYCH-FOLK MASTERPIECE.

First time I heard of the man Charles Laughton. Thank you Jim. This is fun to watch.

Thanks God, I have this psych-folk-prog holy grail and in good shape too...

Who knew Charles was so funny.

Good grief one of the greatest actors of all time singing with ol Ern.

I love it. 1937, people used bad language just like today. They just had a little more class with it.

Ernie was a great CHRISTIAN man :)

Laughton was brilliant

Was this actually released? I'm confused because the only version of Doré 885 I can find online has an instrumental song called "Frankenstein's Laboratory" on the B side (the A side is a comedy version of "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head")

Wow! A different side of one of the world's greatest actors, Charles Laughton!

Oh the look on Mr. TEF' s face when Mr. Laughton whistled...my husband thinks I'm ready for an asylum...(I miss good shows like this :( I was around to catch The Carol Burnett show, being born in the late 70's, but barely! One of the biggest reasons why I don't watch tv anymore. It's basically all trash.)

Be Great Fun🙂🇩🇰🇺🇲❤️

Captain Bligh

EXCELLENT🐕 FABOULOUS🐕 AWESOME 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

This is brilliant! I love TEF (16 tons) It is amazing to see Charles Laughton in a completely different light. Hobsons choice is one of my favourite fims 👍🇬🇧🎥

And I've always thought that Charles Laughton was a stuffy serious old man! What a relief to know that he could play a part such as this!

The most unlikely duel
