M'G'M 10184 — Art Lund with orchestra conducted by Johnny Thompson. It Only Happens When I Dance With You plus May 1 Still Hold You. The first is one of the fine new tunes from Irving Berlin's Easter Parade. A beau' tiful ballad and superbly sung by Art Lund. The flipover is done in the easy style that's made Lund so famous. Both sides are perfect for listening or for dancing.
MERCURY 5114— Frankie Laine and Carl Fischer's orchestra. Baby That Aint Right and May I T^ever Love Again. That Laine fellow seems to gain in popularity every day, and this recent release will not hinder in the least. Frankie exploits the blues with much success on the first side, which also contains a little ad lib patter from Frankie to the band. The other num' ber is one of those old ballads that seems to mellow with the years, and Frankie does a swell job of bringing it back into public favor with this waxing. Entertainment plus!
DECCA 24381— Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five. Reet, Petite and Gone
and Inflation Blues. Here's the biggest little band in the land with two amusing tunes. The first is what you might suspect — a jive'talking lament on love. This is, incidentally, a composition by Louie himself. The underside is in the blues pattern and is a sad tale concern' ing the high cost of living. After the first vocal chorus you'll find a knocked' out sax solo. It's all for fun and mighty entertaining.
