17
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:39.480
Believe Ballroom, broadcasting almost continuously since nineteen thirty five. Hi friends,

18
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.840
thanks for joining me in the Crystal Studio today and

19
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:47.120
here in the studio. While not live in the studio,

20
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.319
but via a seventy eight RPM disc, we say hello

21
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.920
to Freddy Slack and Ella May Morse.

22
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:22.360
Movement movement from movement.

23
00:02:43.520 --> 00:03:15.400
I say, cheeks like a chair and fine, big twinkle

24
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:16.520
in his eye.

25
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.719
He's got a grain you can strive.

26
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.039
So I refer to old robb Roy eight if he's

27
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:30.080
a day, But does he act that way?

28
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.319
You think that he was still awhike.

29
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.639
He has a big nag, old robbery.

30
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:45.439
He's up where the earliest line. It's his business starn

31
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.120
as his neighbor says.

32
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:50.560
Par kids.

33
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.000
He's got as a.

34
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.400
Pile of glass.

35
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.800
He's everybody's daddy.

36
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.520
It climbs the glad.

37
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.680
You're joined jodge.

38
00:04:03.400 --> 00:05:03.319
Mister, Oh rob Roy, Oh Rob Roy, what a boy?

39
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.399
We just heard Old rob Roy Freddie Slack and his

40
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.360
Orchestra vocal by Elame Morse, recorded on the then fledgling

41
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:19.360
Capitol Record label in nineteen forty three. Now Elame Morse,

42
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:25.160
at the young age of just seventeen, recorded a huge hit.

43
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.360
It was her and Freddy Slack's first record for Columbia,

44
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.399
recorded a year before Old Rob Roy. But unfortunately Ella

45
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.600
May's success with the record you're about to hear well,

46
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.839
it was also her downfall. I'll explain after I spind

47
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:44.680
the desk.

48
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.720
On the Please down your satin I'm in a coby

49
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:01.319
right in the rage. One day, Asy John law I

50
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:07.279
heard him singing a more peculiar cowboys song. It was

51
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:12.000

singing his cock cab. We'll get in the strangest way,

56

gonna die coma diap, singing his cowboy song. He's just

57
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.360
too much. He gotta knock out Western accents for.

58
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.800
A wallong search.

59
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:57.480
He was raised doing lope weed. He's what you call

60
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.959

Get along, loggie, better be on you wing you wave,

Get along, little log And.

64
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.160
He dropped him on down the old fair way, singing

65
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:23.560
his cock cap booge in the strange just way, Comma

66

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.559
was juggling along Yeppy, sing.

69
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.120
With the whole up that Yep Pip.

70
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.480
The cat is just too much for singing his cock

71
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.360
Up Bogi, The Strangest Way, Comma.

72
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:58.320
Tie Cow Cow Boogie, Freddy Slack and his orchestra Ellame

73
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:02.919
Morris vocal we courted on the Capitol label in nineteen

74
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:09.320
forty two, now Elmy at fifteen years old. Going back

75
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.799
a few more years, light about her age to get

76
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:18.000
a job with Jimmy Dorsey in nineteen thirty eight. Now

77
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.120
el May, it has said, was a headache, a big

78
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:26.639
headache for Jimmy. She was immature, not very well prepared,

79
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.279
and extremely flighty. A lot of the band members remarked

80
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.320
that Elmy would disappear and be hard to find at times.

81
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:41.679
So in nineteen thirty nine, Jimmy replaced Elma with the

82
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.600
great Helen O'Connell, which was a great move for Jimmy Dorsey.

83
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.799
But Elm did the resurface again in nineteen forty two

84
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:57.240
when former Dorsey pianist Freddie Slack, who we just heard,

85
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:01.600
hired her to sing with his new Aucust. It was

86
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.120
with Freddy that Morse had her biggest hit, Cow Cow Boogie,

87
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.960
which I just played, which became a Capitol Record's first

88
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:14.360
gold single. Just as an aside, if you recall a

89
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.919
few weeks back, we discussed how Chattanooga Chuchu was given

90
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.879
the first quote unquote gold record by RCA Victor. At

91
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.600
the time, gold records were more of a vanity scheme

92
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:34.360
by record company pr shops to signify that a record

93
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:39.120
hit a million sold. But nevertheless, the record was such

94
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:44.360
a huge, big hit and Morse such a sensation that

95
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:49.759
she quickly eclipsed the whole Slack Orchestra in popularity, and

96
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:55.240
Freddy's name was rarely mentioned without Lamy being in the

97
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.320
same sentence. And I guess part of the reason for

98
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.559
the song's popularity actually relied on it being released at

99
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.279
the beginning of the American Federation of Musicians, their devastating

100
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:14.399
record band, which began in August of nineteen forty two,

101
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.679
and as a result of that, no other label could

102
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.440
follow up with their own version of the tune, and

103
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.000
that pretty much left Capital to reap the bonanza when

104
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.679
the public went crazy for it. The success of the

105
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.759
song did turn Capital into a major recording label, but

106
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:40.159
unfortunately for Ella May, she became forever identified with the

107
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:44.360
song that made her famous, often being billed as the

108
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:49.240
quote unquote cow Cow boogeye girl. While she still had

109
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:53.200
a following She was pretty much deemed a one hit wonder,

110
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.519
and she left the business in the late nineteen forties,

111
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.600
although she did have a few comebacks over the years

112
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:06.600
to follow. So little friends about Ella May Morse. Oh,

113
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.200
before I forget, I just wanted to mention that to

114
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.639
Ella May Morse, as I said, was quite undisciplined, flighty

115
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.120
and often would disappear. And I'm sure Freddy knew that

116
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.120
from working with Jimmy Dorsey. So it said that when

117
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:23.159
she went into the studio to record Cow Cow Boogie,

118
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.440
Freddie quickly started to play with the orchestra to keep

119
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.799
his fingers crossed and hope everything would go well well.

120
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.720
Ella May thought this was only a rehearsal because of

121
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.200
the quick way Freddy started things up, and she recorded

122
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.519
this song in only one take. So a little extra

123
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:46.440
tidbit on Ella May Morse, and now another tune, then

124
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.320
a listener's email.

125
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.039
File.

126
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:51.799
I doubled their you you sit over here. I doubled

127
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.600
their you to let me your ears, take off your

128
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:02.000
high hatch, handless yet friendly, don't be a scare cat,

129
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:06.240
say what your care cats take us there. I doubled

130
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:11.200
their youth to kiss me and them I doubled their

131
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.080

132
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.720
your eyes means what I'm thinking of.

133
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:20.840
I doubled their.

134
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.960
Use to fall in love with me.

135
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:50.000
I troubled their you.

136
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:38.039
On Victor Records, we just heard I doubled Dare You

137
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.840
by Larry Clinton and his orchestra vocal by Bronx born

138
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.679
b Wayne, recorded in New York City, December seventeenth, nineteen

139
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.200
thirty seven. And I mentioned before that fine recording that

140
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.080
I would read an email that I received over the

141
00:15:55.159 --> 00:16:01.679
past week, and this one is from Adam cremeetz k

142
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:06.840
r I ms tsos. I think I can have to

143
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.159
let out an sos to Adam to make sure I'm

144
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.279
pronouncing his name correctly. I hope it is pronounced Cremeetzos.

145
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.600
And Adam says he is out of Atlanta, Georgia. He writes,

146
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:24.519
Jeff thoroughly enjoy the music of the Make Believe Ballroom

147
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.639
each week. I liked over the last few shows the

148
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:33.799
Glenn Miller rarely played records you spun. Benny Goodman recorded

149
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.960
a song called camel Hop that I like. Can you

150
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:42.399
play that and count it as a rarely heard Goodman song?

151
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.840
And that is signed by Adam, and I could say

152
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.320
to you, Adam, I'll hump that record for you, The

153
00:16:49.559 --> 00:19:34.799
camel Hop on its way Many Goodman and his orchestra

154
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.920
camil Hop, recorded on the Victor label in New York

155
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:43.440
City November the twelfth, nineteen thirty seven. And thanks Adam.

156
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.200
That was a great Goodman song and indeed a lightly

157
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:52.640
played Goodman tune. And Adam, that was an interesting name

158
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.319
for a song, camel Hop. And perhaps you have wondered

159
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:03.400
how that name came about. Was John Hammond. John Hammond,

160
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.519
Benny Goodman's brother in law and the great jazz and

161
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:13.039
swing impresario who suggested to Mary Lou Williams that she

162
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.920
composed some music for Benny Goodman. In nineteen thirty seven,

163
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.119
Benny had a radio show broadcast on Saturday nights that

164
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.440
was called The Camel Caravan. That show was sponsored by

165
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:33.079
Camel Cigarettes. So Mary Lou wrote this arrangement of camel

166
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.240
Hoop that we just heard for him to use as

167
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:40.880
a theme song on that radio program. The arrangement was

168
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.039
recorded several times on the radio and also in live

169
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:50.440
performances during nineteen thirty seven. And again, thanks Adam for

170

172
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.559
you would like to contact me. I just mentioned Mary

173
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:09.359
Lou Williams. Mary Lou she was an enormous talent that

174
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:15.200
encompassed playing the jazz piano, arranging and composing. She wrote

175
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:20.440
hundreds of compositions and arrangements and recorded more than a

176
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:24.119
hundred records. So let me play one now by Mary

177
00:21:24.559 --> 00:22:07.359
Lou Williams, the.

178
00:22:17.640 --> 00:23:20.200
Quickly set at Christ Christmas, Christmas and the Christ Christmas,

179
00:23:34.400 --> 00:24:06.680
the Best Christ.

180
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.720
And the.

181
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:08.359
Mary Lou Williams on piano accompanied by bass and drums.

182
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:12.880
The name of the song was clean Pickin, recorded on

183
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:16.319
Decca Records in New York City on March the eleventh,

184
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:20.200
nineteen thirty six, and it featured Booker Collins on the

185
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:26.720
bass and Ben Thigpen playing the drums. Let's play another record,

186
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.400
then I will talk to you about how a glamorous

187
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:35.160
sex symbol an actress made her mark on the world

188
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:36.119
of jazz.

189
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.680
When the cuckoo in the clock goes.

190
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.839
Cellimation, its a cuckoo and I'm a little cuckoo.

191
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.319
In fact, we all slightly not that they were that

192
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:42.799
the word.

193
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:44.279
He was baby talking her heading.

194
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:46.119
The cuckoo in the clock went cuckoo.

195
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:51.799
Every fifteen minutes, he crew cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, be a

196
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:54.279
a p sent the fella to the gall and the

197
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:56.039
cuckoo in the clock went cuckoo.

198
00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:57.839
I believe they're starting to.

199
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:04.000
Woo woo, woo woooo. They didn't know that everything they

200
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:05.759
said was overheard.

201
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.720
They didn't hear the little verdict giving him the burden.

202
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:13.839
So he said, with a sigh, who's your little peachy pie?

203
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:15.880
And the cuckoo in the clock went cuckoo.

204
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.079
Then he said, I.

205
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:20.480
May be cuckoo, but not as cuckoo as you.

206
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:25.839
So he closed the door and withdrew cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.

207
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:36.000
Listen to the cuckoo on the wall, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.

208
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:03.279
Love us, grand love us, Grant Donald, Let me hold

209
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:03.880
your hand, Bob.

210
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:12.440
The cuckoo in the clock says, who me you too? Hey?

211
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:13.039
Take this.

212
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:20.799
From Brunswick Records, We just heard Cuckoo in the Clock

213
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.480
by Kay Kaiser and his Orchestra vocal by Sully Mason,

214
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:31.440
recorded January the twenty seventh, nineteen thirty nine, and I

215
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:35.559
said prior to Kay and Sully that I would tell

216
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:39.519
you the story of how a glamorous sex symbol and

217
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:44.799
actress made her mark on the world of jazz. And

218
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.000
to set the stage for that story, I play for

219
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.839
you this record.

220
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:09.079
Love hearing the starlet Our. All heaven is in your eyes,

221
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.960
while the winters atbbing underneath the stars, but the hearts

222
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:22.880
are throbbing like to get tar. Love hearing the starlet

223
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:32.799
Our night whispering Lulla fines. Let me dream forever underneath

224
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:34.640
the silvery sky.

225
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.960
Will it be.

226
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:42.680
Just as sweet again?

227
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:50.960
The glamor, the glory that we know, will I find when.

228
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:52.559
We meet again?

229
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:59.039
The glamor, the glory is still a glory. But to night,

230
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:08.759
let us forget tomorrow he under the midnight bloom love

231
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:14.759
with blooming flower in the Starlet Hour, with love, Love,

Love in the hour, All love in the Starlet Hour,

233
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:43.440
while the wind is stopping underneath the stars, but dots

234
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:49.000
of throbbing like the struggle to get tar. Love Love

235
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:57.079

00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:01.880
me dream forever under you need the silvery.

237
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:04.680
Skuies to the tool of ullabies.

238
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:06.519
Will it be.

239
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:10.240
Just yes met again?

240
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:16.480
The glamor, the glory that we know, will I find

241
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:23.640
when we meet again, the glamour, the glory that's still

242
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:32.759
lo glor. But tonight, let us forget tomorrow here under

243
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:34.359
the midnight gloom.

244
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:36.880
Love of blooming.

245
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:42.599
Flower in the starlet horbur with you, just with you,

246
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:49.680
Oh love of bloomin Flower from the Starlet Power with you.

247
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:57.559
On the decalabel, we just heard Starlet Hour by Ella

248
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:02.440
Fitzgerald and her famous orchestra vocal by Ella, recorded in

249
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.720
New York City, January the twenty sixth, nineteen forty. So

250
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:10.720
please remember Ella Fitzgerald for a moment, as I let

251
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:14.200
you know that. And I don't think this comes as

252
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:21.200
a surprise that black musicians, singers, actors, dancers, bandleaders all

253
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:26.599
had a tough time during the insidious era of racial segregation,

254
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:31.640
but there were a few white musicians and entertainers who

255
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:36.920
staunchly supported their friends. Not worried about the cost of

256
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.720
their careers or reputations. They felt that writing or wrong

257
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:46.960
was more important now. Benny Goodman hired the great black

258
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:50.240
pianist Teddy Wilson to play in his trio back in

259
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:55.480
nineteen thirty five, which is widely regarded as one of

260
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:58.599
the first times a black musician appeared on stage with

261
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.640
a white band. Frank Sinatra in the nineteen fifties was

262
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:09.599
performing at the Sands in Las Vegasnt King Cole was

263
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:14.359
also performing in the hotel, and the Sinatra had noticed

264
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:18.200
that net King Cole always dined alone in his dressing room.

265
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:22.640
They were going to the hotel restaurant, so Frank asked

266
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:26.119
one of his black assistants why this was the case,

267
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:30.079
and he explained to Frank that colored people were not

268
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:33.920
allowed in the dining room at the Sands. Now this

269
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:39.279
got Sinatra very upset, and he couldn't accept this blatant discrimination,

270
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:43.440
so it said. He was so furious that he immediately

271
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:47.240
told the restaurant manager and the waiters that if this

272
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.000
happened again, he would ask for everyone to be fired. Well,

273
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:56.759
the next day, Sinatra invited net King Cole to dinner

274
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:01.039
with him at the Sands, and that night Cole became

275
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:04.839
the first black man to eat in the Sands garden room.

276
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.920
And that was a small but meaningful act that broke

277
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:14.960
the racial barrier that existed strongly in society at that time.

278
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:21.519
The great comedian Jack Benny, not once but twice in

279
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:26.119
Saint Louis, and another time in New York, heard that

280
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:30.240
his co star and close friend Eddie Rochester Anderson was

281
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:34.200
being denied a room in hotels where the entire of

282
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.920
Benny cast were staying when his radio show went out

283
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:41.880
on the road, and in both of those instances, Jack

284
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:46.640
Jack Benny threatened to move his business to other establishments.

285
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.240
In Saint Louis, they relented, but in New York, Jack

286
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:55.440
followed through on his edict and moved everyone to a

287
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.799
different hotel where Rochester could be also registered. So that

288
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:05.920
brings us back to Ella Fitzgerald. In nineteen fifty four.

289
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:11.239
Ella was hugely popular, mostly through her records, radio and

290
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:17.079
TV appearances, and performances in small jazz clubs, but due

291
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:21.599
to her race and probably also her lack of glamour,

292
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:26.840
most larger jazz venues would not hire her to perform

293
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:32.320
in their establishments. Well, a glamorous movie star knew every

294
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:38.920
song on every Ella Fitzgerald record and idolized her, and

295
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.280
in November of nineteen fifty four she got to see

296
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:48.079
Ella perform in Los Angeles. This movie star asked if

297
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:52.239
she could meet Ella backstage, and she did, and they

298
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:56.239
soon became good friends. So when this movie star learned

299
00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:00.719
of Fitzgerald's inability to get a gig at the Macambo,

300
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:05.039
which was, some of you might know, a famous Los

301
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:10.280
Angeles nightclub, she decided to help. The Macambo denied Ella

302
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:14.400
the chance to perform because of her race, So the

303
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:20.000
starlet approached the owner of the Macambo with the proposition.

304
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:24.639
She said that if he booked Ella Fitzgerald, she the

305
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.840
glamorous movie star, promised to sit at the front of

306
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.599
the house each and every night, and to bring along

307
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.239
other celebrities. She made clear the amount of publicity that

308
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:42.199
this would would gain the Macambo, so the club owner

309
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:47.159
agreed and decided to hire Ella Fitzgerald for a couple

310
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:51.880
of weeks in March of nineteen fifty five, and during

311
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:57.159
Fitzgerald's run, the movie star kept her word to sit

312
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:01.519
up front, and Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland showed up

313
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:06.960
on opening night. However, although that was a boost, after

314
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:10.280
a couple of nights, it was no longer necessary because

315
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:15.440
Ella's show after that first night sold out, and the

316
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.000
owner even added a few weeks to her contract. This

317
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:27.400
successful engagement changed Fitzgerald's career trajectory forever, so a famous

318
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:32.760
star who became friends with Ella, loved her music, and

319
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:39.360
wanted to write a repugnant, discriminatory wrong. Further helped open

320
00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:44.440
the doors for black entertainers to enjoy the same dignities

321
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:48.360
of their white counterparts. So you might be asking who

322
00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:55.119
was this glamorous starlet. She was Norma Gene Mortensen, better

323
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:58.599
known as Marilyn Monroe.

324
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:07.039
Across the alley from the alum Or lived a Pinto

325
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:12.119
pony and Anapa who who sang a sword of indiety,

326
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:18.239
who to the people passing by, the Pinto spends time

327
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:23.360
as wishing flies, and Denockaboo watched the laziest guys and

328
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:27.320
very rarely didn't dear for rest eyes on the people

329
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:35.559
passing by. One day they were walking along the railroad track.

330
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:44.199
They were swishing looking they never came back off. Across

331
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:48.559
the alley from the island move and the somber soundsires

332
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:53.760
to settle loo a flying sings and indeed hardy who to.

333
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:55.920
The people passing by.

334
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:02.159
Across the alley from the Almo lived the Pinto bony

335
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:07.039
and Namo who used to make friolis and gorne.

336
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:11.920
Do for the people passing by. They thought that they

337
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.239
would make some easy bucks.

338
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.679
By washing their frioli is in doors and LUs a

339
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:22.920
pair of very countyatious clerks to the people passing by.

340
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.360
Then they took their cheap vacation.

341
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:33.440
The shoes were polished by though they never heard the whistle.

342
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:40.320
They're clear out inside across the alley from the Alamo.

343
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:45.239
When the starlight means it's tender glow, the means go

344
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:45.920
to sleep.

345
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:48.159
And then an't no no for the.

346
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:55.599

with his record pick of the week.

374
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.440
Hi gang, Lenny from down the Block. Here with my

375
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:49.960
record pick of the week. In nineteen fourteen, a young

376
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:53.119
man was working as a soda jerk in Washington, DC's

377
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:58.039
Poodle Dog Cafe. In addition to making ice cream Sundays,

378
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:02.119
this teenage was also composing me music. He composed songs

379
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:04.880
by ears since he was unable to read or write

380
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:09.400
musical notation at the time. The composition we are about

381
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:13.159
to play was titled The Soda Fountain Rags, sometimes also

382
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:17.960
referred to as the Poodle Dog Rag. Give credit for

383
00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:21.719
this nineteen thirty eight transcription to the Soda Jerk himself

384
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:24.159
one Duke Ellington.

388
00:45:38.920 --> 00:46:13.719
Bupper Soda Fountain Rag. Thanks Lenny, and I look forward

389
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:17.920
to your pick once again next week. I'm Jeff Wrestler,

390
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:21.360

398
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:06.960
Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a little novelty here

399
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:10.000
for you this evening. We'll have a little argument between

400
00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:14.519
the saxophones and the trumpet. Of course, these cats just

401
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:17.480
told me they're gonna get away, and uh, the little

402
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:19.920
trumpet just said it's gonna do the same. Ain't that right,

403
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:25.840
little trumpet? S? Yeah, that h that little devil and

404
00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:30.920
uh but before we uh riff, we're gonna chirp up

405
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.159
few for you this time, so we'll get the tips together. Boys,

406
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:40.800
while way more lightly slightly and poor lightly, shine up.

407
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:44.800
Down my china down where the lights are long.

408
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:48.039
Oh my gentle.

409
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:55.000
Bow, drift them to it, shine out, shown down, Hold.

410
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:56.960
You rapping you shout up down?

411
00:47:58.639 --> 00:47:59.719
How about my child?

412
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:01.360
The doctor's tax, the phones?

413
00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:16.599
What's the matter with it? Let go look at this

414
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:18.599
cat's getting away and looked like the after me. Look

415
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:19.000
at y'all.

416
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:22.840
But I'm ready.

417
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:24.519
I'm ready, so help now, I'm ready.

418
00:48:24.639 --> 00:50:10.039
Nobody from Columbia, I think was also issued on OK Records.

419
00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:13.760
We just heard Chinatown, My Chinatown by Louis Armstrong and

420
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:18.519
his orchestra vocal by Louis and a commentary also by Louis,

421
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:23.400
recorded in Chicago, November third, nineteen thirty one. Chinatown, My

422
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:28.280
Chinatown written by William Jerome and Gene Schwartz way back

423
00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:31.440
in nineteen o six. But it really wasn't until right

424
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:37.599
around nineteen thirty to the early forties that Chinatown really

425
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:41.639
became a jazz standard. And in that time there were

426
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:47.880
twenty five different recordings of the song. Seven were recorded

427
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:53.159
in nineteen thirty five alone. In addition to Louis Fletcher Henderson,

428
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:59.239
Louis Prima and Lionel Hampton also had a very successful

429
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:04.840
version of that song and now has his tradition. It's

430
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:06.800
time for me to take a peek at the big

431
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.960
bull of a clock on the wall here in the

432
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:12.519
Crystal studio, to do a quick time check to see

433
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:14.800
how many more records I could play before we have

434
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.480
to say goodbye. And in looking at the clock, we

435
00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:22.199
are exactly fifty one minutes into the show, and we

436
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:25.480
have fifty eight minutes of time, which, as I put

437
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:29.440
pencil to paper, leaves us with seven minutes time for

438
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:35.039
two more tunes. Let's see mentioned Jimmy Dorsey having La

439
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:37.880
Mae Morris as a vocalist in thirty eight, So why

440
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:39.639
not play a Jimmy Dorsey record?

441
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:43.599
How would you like to love me?

442
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:44.880
How'd you like it?

443
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:46.360
How'd you like to kiss me?

444
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:47.639
How'd you like it?

445
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:48.840
Couse you can't of care?

446
00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:50.960
Could you learned about your hair? My word?

447
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:55.840
How'd you like to love me on the level?

448
00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:57.199
How'd you like to miss me?

449
00:52:57.880 --> 00:52:58.519
Like the devil?

450
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:01.199
Would you be okay to keep me on your mind

451
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:01.719
all day.

452
00:53:03.159 --> 00:53:07.559
I told my doctor, my lawyer to see what.

453
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:13.239
They they The moment they saw you were they take

454
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:16.960
go pay. So how'd you like to love me? And

455
00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:20.199
no other? How'd you like to drop it? Meet my mother?

456
00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:21.880
How'd you like to rush?

457
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:23.559
And hanging right alongside by?

458
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:27.480
How'd you like it as for me?

459
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:28.840
I'd like it by?

460
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:54.039

Is you.

466
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:37.119
My life without you was an incomplete dream. You are

467
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:39.960
every sweet dream come true.

468
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:49.199
My search was such a blind one, and I was

469
00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:55.000
all in me. I never thought I'd find one quite

470
00:56:55.159 --> 00:57:04.880
so perfect for me, because you are sweet if they're ever,

471
