Seriously. Why do you keep posting the same thing over and over ?

That’s spam.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

HAROLD ARLEN

THE SINGING KID

This 1936 Warner Brothers musical is almost totally forgotten today and is remembered primarily because it marked the end of Al Jolson’s career in Hollywood. Al had learned to sing before electric recording and used the old “belter” style necessary to project both on stage and with acoustic recording. Here he teams with Cab Calloway.

Jim Crow existed even in Hollywood. Cab received an inferior dressing room compared to Jolson due to his race, and Jolson raised holy hell about it. He stormed into Jack Warner’s office and threatened to walk if Calloway didn’t get equal accommodations. Interesting to note, Jolson started his career on stage in blackface, and nobody at the time got upset about it.

“I LOVE TO SING-A”

This is a clip from the movie. The lyrics come from Yip Harburg. The song survived only because of a very strange coincidence, to be covered in the next post.

THE SINGING KID: “I LOVE TO SING-A”

The Warner Brothers animation division featured the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes product lines, and the studio liked to push songs from its catalog in the cartoons. Both Harry Warren and Harold Arlen profited from this practice. When television came along, children’s programming leaned heavily on cartoons from the major studios. The one exception was Walt Disney, who guarded his cartoons like the gold in Fort Knox until he could establish his own TV empire, which he did in the mid-Fifties with “Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.” Baby Boomers will remember this little ditty.

THE SINGING KID: “YOU’RE THE CURE FOR WHAT AILS ME”

This is a clip from the movie. This is Al with Sybil Jason, the Warner Brothers answer to Fox’s Shirley Temple. Unfortunately, she wasn’t in Shirley’s league as an actress or singer. That’s Allen Jenkins and Edward Everett Horton singing along at the end.

THE WIZARD OF OZ

Harold and Yip hit a long dry spell after “The Singing Kid.” There were three years of failed Broadway shows and failed movies at Warner Brothers along with failed songs that populated them. Then in 1939 the two men struck gold.

What is astonishing today is that this movie failed to break even in its initial release in spite of a massive hit song and a bunch of Oscar nominations. Only during its re-release in 1949 did it make a profit for MGM. When it was licensed for TV in 1956 the money really poured in for the studio.

“DING-DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD”

This is a clip from the 1939 movie. It’s the most enthusiastic death song ever written.

THE WIZARD OF OZ: “DING-DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD”

The late Sixties were strange in terms of musical taste. A lot of material from the Thirties came back, to include this classic from 1967. The piccolo solo was extracted years later for a cleanser commercial.
