52
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:19.360
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

76
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.759

77
00:09:11.919 --> 00:10:15.240
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

twenty two guys, I don't blue and there ain't nothing

Every time they call me kids.

86

demidation on the lips, among the rise, among the vowels

00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.000
is to make Believe Ballroom and to reach me. I'm

134
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.519
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

156
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:59.720
and his Orchestra. Beautiful Trumpet Solo by Randy recorded on

157
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.920
Echo Records back in nineteen forty seven, and that one

158
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:09.480
dedicated to Madge Auster, who has an autograph photo of

159
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:14.319
Randy brooks Well in the memorabilia she has from her

160
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:21.000
great grandparents. So Randy brooks Well. Randy brooks began playing

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
Rudy Valley as a child protege by the time he

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
the way, including Claude Thornhill, Les Brown, and Our Jarrett

165
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

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
