Here.

53
00:05:19.800 --> 00:06:55.759
I wonder why.

54
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:48.839
Melancholy move Forever haunts me, steals upon me in the night.

55
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.240
Forever haunts me over the lonely solemn.

56
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:58.600
Mars, granded, high end guy bar and melancho.

57
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.439
On is every.

58
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.879
Joy and inspiration tears that all I have to show,

59
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.600
no consolation. All I can see is grief.

60
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.360
And bloom, kill, a crack of doom, old melony.

61
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.720
Deep in the night, I search for a trace of

62
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:27.000
lingering tears so warm and rast But love is a whimsy,

63
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.920
as flimsy as lace and arms and rays.

64
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:37.639
An empty space. Melancholy mood. Why must you blind me?

65
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.879
Fitting me and break the chains the change that bind me?

66
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.240
What you released me? Set me three? Bring her back

67
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.160
to me, Old Melon, Holy.

68
00:07:48.120 --> 00:08:36.000

72
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:54.840
played several songs on the Ballroom of the Crosby Orchestra

73
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.960
with Bob singing, but honestly prefer the orchestra with vocal

74
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.679
lists he used like Eddie Miller and Nappy La Mayre.

75
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.320

characters playing on this one, with Bob Crosby and his bobcats.

78
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:21.039
Hey far far, Yes, don't call me far. I'm growing

Don't call me far. Hey, don't call me far. I'm

Every time they call me kids.

Jeff at Make Believe Ballroomradio dot Com. That's Jeff at

135
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.519
MakeBelieve Ballroomradio dot Com. And the reason I bring that

136
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:35.600
up is because someone did sit down at their computer

137
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.240
or on their smartphone and pound out an email to

138
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.480
that very address, Jeff at MakeBelieve Ballroomradio dot com, and

139
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:50.279
I will read that for you now. It says make

140
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.759
Believe Ballroom. I enjoyed your show last week as you

141
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.399
played some band leaders that you stated you never played

142
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.879
on the radio. In my my late great grandmother and

143
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.160
grandfather's record collection, I found an autographed picture of a

144
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.519
bandleader named Randy Brooks. I don't know where they got

145
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:17.680
the autograph from or when. If you know anything and

146
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.759
never played his music, can you play one of his

147
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:27.880
records for me? And that is signed Madge Auster. No

148
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.799
location of where she lives. You know, guys, if you

149
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.160
send us an email and you remember, please let us

150
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.680
know what radio station you listen to the Ballroom on

151
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:42.160
or if you listen to us via the podcasts. And

152
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:47.319
with that reminder for you, Madge Auster. Randy Brooks and

153
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.400
his Orchestra, then a little about the band later who

154
00:17:51.880 --> 00:20:49.599
had it tough at the end of his life. We

155
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:54.440
just listened to Tenderly the Great Standard by Randy Brooks

160
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:21.000

161
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.599
the trumpet at six years old and was touring with

162
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:28.240

163
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:32.160
was just eleven. He played with some major bands along

164
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.720

00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.799
before forming his own big band in nineteen forty four.

166
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.599
Tenderly That I Just Played was one of his three

167
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:49.359
big hits, along with his versions of Harlem, Nocturn and

168
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:54.039
The Man with the Horn. He married the popular female

169
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:58.039
band leader Aina Ray Hutton, and all seemed great for

170
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.920
Randy until he had a stroke Unfortunately in nineteen fifty.

171
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.440
He tried several times to get back into music full

172
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.319
time but was not able, although he did perform on

173
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:16.440
a part time basis. He eventually divorced Aina moved back

174
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:21.279
to his hometown in Maine, where he tragically died in

175
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:26.039
a house fire in nineteen sixty seven. So imagine a

176
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.920
little about Randy Brooks and one of his popular hits.

177
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.160
And I hope perhaps that brings a little greater meaning

178
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.279
to the picture of Randy that you have in your

179
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.200
great grandparents' memorabilia. Again to reach me like Madge did

180
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:47.799
Jeff at Makebelly Ballroomradio dot com. That's Jeff at mcbully

181
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.680
Ballroomradio dot com.

182
00:23:01.759 --> 00:25:13.720
A music.

183
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.039
I was already Shaw and his Orchestra with the standard

184
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:27.880
Sweet Sue, recorded in October twenty sixth, nineteen thirty nine

185
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:32.799
in New York City. And while I record was playing,

186
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.720
I thought I'd look for a record by ininor Ray Hutton.

187
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:39.359
Let me play one that I found. Then a little

188
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.759
about or Ray.

189
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.400
They had to have something.

190
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.480
New stand to do up peper harmles.

191
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:29.359
Someone started trucking.

192
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.240
As soon as Luke got bround, so sometimes came up.

193
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.920
To the MARBM.

194
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:40.240
So if somebody trucking, it didn't take long.

195
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.000
Before that I had doon it podcasting.

196
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.079
It all the time.

197
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.880
You see them scuffling, shoppling, trucking along, get fed like

198
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.200
a Boris stage. It became a crazy and banking harlem.

199
00:27:53.440 --> 00:28:22.000
Now if somebody is trucking, Salent and Salent.

200
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:23.200
And parents.

201
00:28:42.359 --> 00:29:15.480
An we just heard inor Ray Hutton and her all

202
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:20.359
female swing band ininor Ray Hutton and her mellow Deers

203
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:26.799
performed Truckin' in the nineteen thirty seven Paramount Pictures short

204
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:31.680
film Swing, Hunt and Swing. So not a record here

205
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:35.799
that I found, but the song used directly in that

206
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:42.359
Paramount short. A little about or Ray Hutton. Ino is

207
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:48.480
a true groundbreaker who had a very successful career guiding

208
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:54.799
the Melow Deers, perhaps the truly first ever all female

209
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.720
band of the big band era. She was called the

210
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:05.640
blonde bombshell of rhythm, very high energy. She wore if

211
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:10.240
you've ever seen any of her soundy videos, form fitting

212
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:16.720
sequin gowns and was really equal part bandleader, dancer, and vocalist,

213
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:21.000
all wrapped into one, as well as a sex symbol.

214
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.079
I think I read somewhere along the line she had

215
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:28.240
over four hundred gowns. Her success didn't come at all

216
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:33.680
from seventy eight RPM records or the radio. She was

217
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:40.599
mostly a visual act, so Aina was known more for

218
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:48.519
her band, stage and ballroom appearances and appearances in movies

219
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:53.119
both full length and shorty types. Let's Play One More

220
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:57.799
by Aina Ray. Then a shocking secret she carried throughout

221
00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:59.279
most of her life.

222
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.039
And now the Milandier Swing, a number written especially for.

223
00:31:06.200 --> 00:32:52.920
Hours Mellow Daires Swing ininor Ray Hutton and her orchestra

224
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:58.119
recorded back in nineteen thirty eight, and I mentioned the

225
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:04.519
secret Hutton carried throughout her career and at a time

226
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:10.119
of racial strife in the United States, this opened doors

227
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:15.000
for Ina Ray Hutton without her being one hundred percent

228
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:20.000
true or honest to her heritage, as she was the

229
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:26.359
blond bombshell of rhythm. But she was born on the

230
00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:31.359
South Side of Chicago to Marvel Ray, a local black pianist.

231
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:36.759
Her early years were spent in a black neighborhood, and

232
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:42.559
both the nineteen twenty and thirty US Census officially documented

233
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:49.599
her as quote unquote mulatto and Negro. She was discovered

234
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:55.240
by the famous Gus Edwards, white vaudeville producer around the

235
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:59.279
age of eight, and her light skin allowed her to

236
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:06.039
successfully crossed the color line. By the mid nineteen thirties,

237
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:10.639
she Ininor Ray and her mother and her singing sister

238
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:16.920
June Hutton permanently identified as white on public records, leaving

239
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:21.719
her true ancestry an open secret held only by the

240
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:27.559
black community who actually knew Heinor Ray as a younger woman,

241
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:33.079
so that's the true heritage and identity of heinor Ray Hutton.

242
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:38.400
I mentioned she had a sister named Betty, Betty Hutton

243
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:43.320
equally as famous. Let's hear from her then her story.

244
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:55.559
There's a fellow Forgivesy, and he's just as sweet as

245
00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:01.360
he can. He has any event Gipsy since I left him,

246
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:02.599
I took to the sea.

247
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.440
There's another waiting in Pimona with a.

248
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:12.440
Cute stiffle in his chair. And there's a guy into

249
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:18.320
Tonna who just waits for my shifting Tony. I'm missing

250
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:26.559
on a ride every night. But if you help me,

251
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:32.519
I suppose, then what all us? You mustn't think I'm

252
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.719
just a gypsy, but I really all the saturated. There's

253
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:41.920
a fellow waiting and for gypsy, but I'm strictly on

254
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:42.400
my own.

255
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:44.920
There's a fella wedding in Milwaukee, one of her more gentlemen.

256
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:50.800
Sometimes he goes to a talkie, but I know that's

257
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:52.159
as far as he goes.

258
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:58.760
There's a fella wedding indicator and she often sat upon.

259
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.360
His I'm gonna look him up later.

260
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.239
He made quite an impression on.

261
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:12.760
Me Jureka, Eureka, Tennessee.

262
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:15.840
I've got here.

263
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:18.559
What the heck love is?

264
00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:23.000
Look anyway, if you're listening one.

265
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:27.679
Talking and you wanna who somebody time, there's a follow

266
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.360
wadding in Milwaukee. But I'm strictly immon.

267
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:35.159
Strictly on.

268
00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:47.679
Capitol Records. There's a Fellow Waiting in Poughkeepsie, written by

269
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:52.800
Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen June Hutton and the Pied

270
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.800
Pipers with Paul Weston and his Orchestra, recorded October seventeenth,

271
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:04.599
nineteen forty four. So Betty Hutton, Ainor Ray's sister, was

272
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:09.079
a major member of the Wonderful Pied Piper's vocal group

273
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:13.400
from nineteen forty four to fifty and after that went

274
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.480
on to a long successful career as a solo vocalist.

275
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:23.920
She Betty Hutton, was married to Axel stardall music arranger,

276
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:29.159
I guess, best known for his work with Tommy Dorsey.

277
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.360
So for you a little about the Hutton sisters, Betty

278
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:39.559

Doll and also historically significant for its vocalist.

285
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:19.079
Night and Day.

286
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:33.159

Why is it so.

291
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:11.760
That this longing for you follows.

292
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:13.119
Wherever I go?

293
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:24.599
In the roaring traffic spools or in the silence of

294
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:29.079
my lonely room, I think of you.

295
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:32.960
Did not.

296
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:38.199
Night and day?

297
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.440
Under the hide of me.

298
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:58.039
There's an all, such a hungrying burning inside, and it's

299
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:00.880

00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:45.920
burning way down inside, and it's torment. Won't ever be

N and.

307
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:14.239
Frank Sinatra recorded his first solo session ever, which featured

308
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:17.440
Cole Porters. Night and Day that we just listened to

309
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:23.559
arranged and conducted by Axel Stardall on January the nineteenth,

310
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:29.440
nineteen forty two for Bluebird Records, certainly a Sinatra groundbreaker

311
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.199
conducted by one of his favorite arrangers and conductors, Axel

312
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:40.079
Star Doll, husband of the before discussed Betty Hutton.

313
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:53.760
