<\/a><\/p>\n“Don’t Say Goodbye” “You Just You” “Your Eyes” “It Would Be Wonderful” Unlike today when most big time musical acts tend to write and perform their own music, during the 1920s through 1940s decades most of the popular dance bands played from a similar repertoire of songs.\u00a0\u00a0 Popular tunes at the time tended to originate from either the large Tin Pan Alley type music publishing houses or from works written for the musical theatre or motion pictures.<\/p>\n Yesterday’s update<\/a> featured a light opera company performing selections from the 1931 British version of the operetta The White Horse Inn.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 This update is a follow up featuring popular versions of\u00a0 songs from the same production performed by two prominent British dance bands.\u00a0\u00a0 Two of the songs presented here “Don’t Say Goodbye” and “You And You” were not featured on yesterday’s medley recording.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, I do not have as much access to discographical information about British recordings as I do American ones and, as a result, I have been able to locate the vocal credit for only one of the recordings, “Don’t Say Goodbye.”\u00a0\u00a0 If anyone reading this has access to vocal information for the rest of the recordings, please feel free to share it by posting a comment.\u00a0 I am especially curious as to the name of the singer on “You Just You.”<\/p>\n Update:\u00a0 Added missing vocal credits on all “You And You” plus the two Jay Wilbur sides.\u00a0\u00a0 Thank you to Harold A for the comment providing the relevant Brian Rust discographical information.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Don’t Say Goodbye” Jack Hylton And His Orchestra; Pat O’Malley, vocal 1932 (\u00a0Decca F 3213 mx GB 5022) Jack Hylton And His Orchestra – Don’t Say Goodbye] “You Just You” Jack Hylton And His Orchestra; Olive Groves, vocal 1932 … Continue reading
