Victor Orchestra - When We Get Together In The Moonlight

This excellent record features the rather enigmatic flapper vocalist Belle Mann, who started her singing career with Ben Pollack's Park Central Orchestra, was a popular Victor recording artist, because she sang for the next two years as a "house vocalist" for the company's studio bands and orchestras under contract with Victor. The present recording was made with the excellent house orchestra under the baton of the extremely prolific Nat Shilkret, a classical and popular composer, conductor and arranger who left us a legacy of thousands of recordings. As for Sol Violinsky, the composer of the song presented here, was an Ukranian-born violinist, pianist, composer and songwriter who came to the USA in 1901. He was a vaudeville performer (look at that odd picture from his film appearance in "The Eccentric Entertainer" in which he plays the violin and the piano at the same time!) in the US and abroad, as well as a violinist in the New York Symphony. His chief musical collaborators included Ben Ryan, Billy Rose, and William Raskin. His popular-song compositions include "When Frances Dances With Me", "Honolulu Eyes", "Dancing to the Rhythm of My Heart", "You Left Me Out In the Rain", "Tum Tum Tumbling in Love", "When We Get Together in the Moonlight", and "Remember Mother's Day". The recording you are hearing in this video was made in 1929.
