sweet and hot by leonard feather **Highly Recommended ♦Recommended No Stars: Average FROM THE MOVIES FLAMINGO ROAD— "If I Could Be With You" by Kay Starr** (Capitol); Herb Jeffries** (Exclusive); Gwenn Bell* (Manor); Doris Day* (Columbia); Bill Lawrence (Victor); Art Lund (MGM); Guy Lombardo (Decca); Phil Brito (Musicraft). Remember this one? The late Henry Creamer, a veteran vaudevillian from Virginia, wrote it in 1929 (he also gave us Dear Old Southland and Way Dozim Yonder in New Orleans). Now it's a big movie revival. Wish I could recommend you the original Louis Armstrong version, but alas, it's out of print. JOLSON SINGS AGAIN— "I Only Have Eyes For You" by Al Jolson* (Decca); Billy Eckstine* (National); Kate Smith (MGM); Paul Weston (Capitol); Coleman Hawkins (Mercury); Freddy Gardner (Columbia ) . A hit of 1934 which seems to be sung in the picture by Larry Parks (but needless to add, that ain't Larry's larynx). MAKE BELIEVE BALLROOM— "Miss In Between Blues" by Toni Harper* (Columbia). Twelve-year-old Toni gives a delightful description of the so-called awkward age. ROADHOUSE— "Again" by Doris Day* (Columbia); Tommy Dorsey* (Victor); Vic Damone* (Mercury); Art Mooney (MGM); Vera Lynn (London). Day, Dorsey and Damone do delightfully. TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME— "The Right Girl For Me" by Frank Sinatra* (Columbia). TULSA— Title song by Jack Kilty* (MGM). WIZARD OF OZ — Album of four sides by Joel Herron* (MGM). WMGM's musical director does a neat job with Over The Rainbow, We're Off To See The Wizard, If I Only Had a Brain and Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead. Good, typical movie music. POPULAR BOB CROSBY— "Need You"* (Columbia). VAUGHN MONROE— "Riders In The Sky"* (Victor). "BOPULAR" CHUBBY JACKSON— "Father Knickerbopper"** (Columbia ) . DAVE LAMBERT— "Always"* (Capitol). RED NORVO — "Dee Dee's Dance"* (Brunswick). EDDIE SHU— "Flamingo"** (Rainbow). MARY LOU WILLIAMS— "In The Land of Oo Bla-Dee"* (King). Chubby has an exciting new 14-piece band; Dave Lambert does wonders with a 12-piece boppish vocal choir. Red Norvo features vibes, clarinet and guitar in a polite, easy-listening brand of bop. Mary Lou does a cute bop novelty sung by Pancho Hagood, ex-Gillespie vocalist. Eddie Shu, to this reporter, is the most amazing new jazz star in years. Plays terrific alto sax, great clarinet, trumpet, and, of all things, bop harmonica. He and his quintet make their disc debut with Flamingo and Two Pair o' Shu's, featuring just about every talent he has. When A\i We stoj). using ffels-NapltaSoap?
