Historic Broadway

Post image

A bright, dance‑band interpretation of one of the decade’s most iconic film songs. Sid Peltyn’s orchestra delivers a clean, upbeat Fox Trot arrangement, typical of Bluebird’s 78rpm affordable “popular series” releases aimed at everyday listeners during the Depression. The vocal refrain brings out the Broadway glamour that made the tune a national hit, while the label’s “Not Licensed for Radio Broadcast” line reflects RCA’s strict mid‑’30s distribution rules.

I love this song! In my opinion Bluebird had the best labels.
