Screenland (Jan–Jun 1948)

"My How the Time Goes By," from the RKO picture, "If You Knew Suzy," and "I'm Still Sitting Under the Apple Tree." Vaughnie boy also dives into an old Italian folk song, "Nina Ana," and on the back does some Hawaiian singing and swaying with "Mahama Papa Do." Also tries "Love for Love" from "Escape Me Never" and '"Baby Be Good" on the other cheek. The Moonmaids are on most of these but they oughta sing louder 'cause you can still hear Vaughny. Nice for stroppin'your insteps though. (Victor) MEL TORME: MGM's curly-haired rascal with the gauze in his jaws, "The Velvet Fog," slips you two more pieces of caramel, "Ballerina" and "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve." Wasn't he great in "Good News?" His option was given a swift lift, you know, which means you'll be glimming lots of more of the blond boy. And dig that interpretation on this waffle! How different and refreshing from all the mediocre versions of same. Like waking up in a beam of sunlight! (Musicraft) DORIS DAY: "Sparkle Plenty" herself! My gal, Dodo, the girl Mike Curtiz has been blowing his royal wig about and whom by now you have ogled in "Romance on the High Seas" with Jack Carson. Here she subjects you to delicious torture on "Papa, Won't You Dance With Me," a polka from "High Button Shoes" and a dreamy and creamy ballad, "Say Something Nice About Me" on the back. What a chick this Dodo is. Sweet as spring rain or even C12H22O11 (sugar) . Can't help being as great a star as everyone swears she will! (Columbia) KAY KYSER: "Pass That Peace Pipe" and "Serenade of the Bells." A fresh geyser by Mr. Kyser and one the UN could well play for General Aseembly so they could follow in the footsteps of the Chickasaws, Choctaws, Chatahoochees, and Chippewas and bury that hatchet. This is the big production number from "Good News" and s'as timely as St. Valentine's Day and cacchetori. Gloria Wood and the Campus Kids come out of the teepee for the peace negotiations, -and on the flip Harry Babbit moves in with tres pianissimo "Serenade of the Bells." The ole Professor also does an end run and comes up with a fresh album of the most popular college songs from the Army, Navy, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Yale, University of Southern California and Washington campuses. It's called "Campus Favorites," and even if you're stashed in some other slave pad coppin' your schoolin' you'll still give this a good work-out on the turntable, Mable. (Columbia) ART LUND: "As Sweet As You Are," "It's a Lonesome Old Town." Over 6feet of hombre and the same adenoids you fell for on "Mam'selle" baking a fresh waffle that your hearing flap can go for without fear of demeaning itself. If only the guy didn't sound so rigid tout le temps he'd be mieux. (MGM) DUKE ELLINGTON: "The Wildest Gal in Town," "Put Yourself in My Place, Baby." Royalty on the grooves! Edward Kennedy Ellington's premiere waxing for Columbia, under his new contract, that is. And the great man of American music bows in with a brace of pop tunes spotting the bronchial tubes of Dolores Parker on the story of Susie Brown, the wildest gal in town, who turns out to be a typical housewife and mother. Kay Davis throws her lovely head back on the reverse on a tune by Frankie Laine and Hoagy Carmichael, and she caresses your ear as lightly as a snow flurry. Here's the way pop stuff should be played. (Columbia) ARTIE WAYNE: "The Heartbeat Song," "One Little Tear Is An Ocean." Hey, you can hear Rita Hayworth's ticker beating on this one, and I'm not woofin'. Very tricky goings-on here. While Dr. Artie Wayne gives his diagnosis on the functions of the left auricle and ventricle, he illustrates with Rita's soft beat in the background and I can't think of a better heart to listen to, can you? Artie flows forth with an original on the other cheek. Nice plumbing this Wayne guy owns. He'll be pouring thru oodles of eardrums ere long. (Majestic) LOUIS PRIMA: Mr. Prima on the beama playing pretty for the people with some notes that are zany, Janie. There's "With a Hey, and a Hi, and a Ho, Ho, Ho," one of those bubbly, good cheer deals, with L.P. layin' down some scattin' on the nether side, "My Flame Went Out Last Night." And he's not talkin' about his cigarette lighter, either. (Victor) DOROTHY SHAY (THE PARK AVENUE HILLBILLY) GOES TO TOWN: Void the chick who's had the whole 48 "Feudin' and Fightin' " over her waffles in a whole fresh albumful of delectable ditties. "Just a Friendly Feeling," "Mountain Lullaby," "He's the One," "The Style to Which I'm Accustomed," "With a Little Indiscretion on the Side," "It's the Little Things That Count," "Agnes Clung" and "The Drainpipe Song." Scads of laffs all the way thru these personable grooves. 'Ray for Shay! (Columbia C 155) HOT!!! BENNY GOODMAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA: Let's dance! It's about time. All those scarce etchings by Rachel's daddy have been lost for too long. Victor takes eight giant steps in the right direction by reissuing that amount of several barrelsful of Goodman goodies. There's "King Porter Stomp," "Madhouse," "Roll 'Em," "I've Found a New Baby," "Sometimes I'm Happy," "Changes," "Afraid to Dream" and "Goodbye." These are the cream of the B.G. era from 1935 to 1937 and the payoff is they're as fresh as when first baked. And look at the guys who were part of 'em — Harry James, Jess Stacy, Bunny Berrigan, Gene Krupa! But don't stop now, Victor! There's a whole catalogueful still to come! (Victor P 188) CHU BERRY: "Chuberry Jam," "Maelstrom." One of the greatest tenor sax men of all time, Chu Berry died just a few years ago. How untimely a passing! 'Cause the guy's stature has risen since then and his rank as an all-time giant on his instrument is well recognized. Chu comes on like Lana Turner on this reissue which was cut in 1937 by some of the cats in the Cab Calloway band.
