The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

know who the girl singer on this record is ??..... my GF bought some records one saturday and thought since it was a scroll victor she would buy it for me ,I was playing other stuff and she put it on ! the record was only in the catalog from 11/18/36 to 1/20/37 not bad for a buck

That’s Ella Fitzgerald, if I remember correctly!

Fitzgerald had an exclusive contract with Decca and when they complained, Victor pulled the disk..

yep .....My copy is a scroll but i guess it xame as a double circle too ,wonder how many were pressed

Yes it is. Yes that was.

One can easily look up the reference on EDVR as well.

They reissued it with "Goodnight" with a Betty Van vocal, and "'Taint No Use" on the B side with vocal refrain "apologetically" by Benny Goodman using the same catalog number if memory serves.

Benny tried out Jimmy Rushing on one Victor disc also but that didn't work out either as he was a Decca artist at the time as well.

I think i prefer the B side....
