Harry Reser's Syncopaters, Kansas City Kitty (1929):

That's a nice novelty number, and some good instrumental work in there. I especially like the bass sax solo at 2:00. I wonder if that's Adrian Rollini.

Mother of Tejano Lydia Mendoza's signature song, Mal Hombre (1934):

That would be interesting to know! Here's some more info about this particular track: https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/ ... City_kitty

Ruth Etting, Ten Cents a Dance (1931). I've had this song stuck in my head nonstop.

Barbara Stanwyck starred in a film based off this song that same year (same title, too). I'm going to watch that next.

Isn't it rough when you have an ancient song in your head and you want everyone to know the song too??? I do that with so many of these old songs!!

Wow! What a beautiful timbre that man's voice had, and beautiful styling to go with it. It's like rich cream being poured out of pitcher.

An interesting song that was released during prohibition. 1920, Ten Little Bottles by Bert Williams.

That was funny! I'll bet a lot of people commiserated with it.

Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians, You Didn't Have to Tell Me. Though this is from 1931, it's absolutely dripping with authentic '20s sound. Listen to the saxophones at :38.
