THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

HAROLD ARLEN

EARL CARROLL’S VANITIES OF 1932

Broadway musical revues were a staple in the years around World War I, but they would eventually be supplanted by radio. This show played in the last years of vaudeville. The world was changing.

”I GOTTA RIGHT TO SING THE BLUES”

Tonight is dedicated to a song that has survived 87 years and has been recorded by all the greats.

Satchmo got the hit in 1933. This re-mastered recording sounds like it was placed on digital media just yesterday.

I love Billie Holiday’s version of that song.

I didn’t know that Sachmo did it too...it’s a lovely recording...thanks! :-)
