Carol Porter – Tomorrow]
Here are a couple of recordings by vocalist Jack Plant who made recordings with a number of 1930s British dance bands. “Carol Porter” is but a pseudonym that was used for his recordings on the Eclipse label which was sold through the British branch of the F.W. Woolworth chain.
“Masquerade” is a very charming waltz and was the first commercial success for lyricist Paul Francis Webster. In the United States Ted Black and His Orchestra’s recording of the song achieved a number three spot on the Billboard charts.
I attempted to do an online search for information about the song “Tomorrow” but, unfortunately, a title consisting of a single commonplace word makes it rather difficult. The label credits the song to a “C. Tyne” but I have not been able to locate any information as to who this might have been.
