Leo Marjane was one of great French singers of 1930s and 1940s. Her unique "sadly grinning" deep voice and a strong dramatic expression were, two decades later, an inspiration for another great star of the French chanson - Juliette Greco. Leo Marjane's grand career had an abrupt end with the end of WWII. The French remembered, that during the occupation she entertained the Nazis with a little too much enthusiasm. After 1945 she retired. This beautiful melancholic slow-fox was composed by Charles Trenet. The music is illustrated by the photos of one of the greatest photographers of the 20 century, Brassai (his Hungarian name was Gyula Halas). Recording: Disque Gramophone, 1941

Eugenie Della-Donna und Arnold Rieck - (Ja) Das haben die Mädchen so gerne (Yes, That's What the Girls Love) aus "Das Autoliebchen" (Musik: Jean Gilbert, Text: Alfred Schönfeld), Concert Record Gramophone, Berlin 1912 I did not find any information about Eugenie Della-Donna. Arnold Rieck was a popular Berlin vadeuville actor and singer, featuring on the stage or in film comedies in the 1920/30s. NOTE: Jean GILBERT (born in Hamburg, 1879, died in Buenos Aires, 1942) - German operetta composer and conductor. His real name was Max Winterfeld. He adopted the name of Jean Gilbert for the production of his first operetta in 1901. Gilbert studied at the conservatories of Sondershausen and Weimar, as well as under Philipp Scharwenka in Berlin. His cousin was the composer Paul Dessau. Gilbert composed more than 50 operettas before and after World War I, working mainly in Berlin. His most successful works were "Die keusche Susanne" (A Virtuous Susanne) (1910), Puppchen (1912) with the hit song "Puppchen, du bist mein Augenstern" (You Are The Light Of My Eyes, Dolly) and "Das Autoliebchen" (1912) with "Ja, das haben die Mädchen so gerne" (Yes, That's What the Girls Love). In 1933, when the Nazis came to power Jean Gilbert emigrated to Argentina. His son Robert Gilbert (18991978) was also a composer. This song has been reminded of by Marlene Dietrich in her album "Ja das haben die Mädchen so gerne" issued in 1960s.

Chór Juranda (The Jurand's Choir) with Organ - Gorzkie żale (Bitter Complaints), Pieśń wielkopostna (The Lenten Hymn), Syrena-Electro 1935 (Poland) NOTE: Gorzkie Żale (The Bitter Complaints) is a para-liturgic ceremony held in Polish Catholic Church in last 400 years, as a choral (a capella or with organs) contemplation of Christ's Pasion. Since the end of the 17th century, it has been sung in Polish churches - usually on Sunday afternoons - during all 40 days of the Lent. That beautiful old poetical text - written by anonymous monk or by several autors - has been for centuries an essential part of Polish religious literature heritage. The brilliant performance by Chór Juranda from 1935, belongs to absolute rarities and I am glad, I can present it here. Happy Easter to all of you, Dear You Tube friends!

The Georgians -- Snakes Hips, Fox Trot (Williams), Columbia 1923 (USA) NOTE: The Georgians was an early 1920s white jazz ensemble led by trumpeter, Frank Guarente. They recorded exclusively for Columbia, providing a kind of dance music that The Virginians (another early 1920s jazz ensamble) provided for Victor. Frank Guerente was a Corsican immigrant, who had landed in Philadelphia in 1910. Contracted to play with a couplke of early jazz bands in East Coast, he during one of tours, stayed in New Orleans where he joined the Mar's Brass Band and learned a syncopated rhythm style. In 1923, from the musicians coming from elsewhere in the United States but Georgia, he formed his own group that he called The Georgians. (Clarinetist Johnny O'Donnell was from Washington, DC; trombonist Ray Stillwell was from East Liverpool, Ohio - he was replaced by Russ Morgan; banjoist Russell Deppe was from Philadelphia; and drummer Chauncey Morehouse was from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania; pianist Arthur Schutt, from Reading, Pennsylvania). Paul Specht -- a very popular ballroom dance band director, who had a gig ast the Hotel Almanac in NYC in early 1920s, incorporated The Georgians as a smaller version of his big group. The Georgians, as a sub-set of Paul Specht's Orchestra, were contracted for playing jazz in the cocktail lounge. The star and leader of the band was still Frank Guarente. In 1922 the Georgians went to Europe and stayed until 1924, when part of the band returned to the US with <b>...</b>

Her works - together with paintings of Andre Lhote or Maurice Denis were fundamental for the development of art deco style in visual arts. Born in Warsaw in 1898 to a wealthy Polish family Górski (her father was the law advisor for international bankers making business with the Russian tycoons, and her mother's sister was a wife of the representative of Credits Lyonnais in Tzarist Russia) she spent her childhood and youth in Moscow and in St. Petersburgh, where she enjoyed the last years of the blitz and glamour of the upper class life in dying Russian empire. Married in age of 17 to a Polish aristocrat, Tadeusz Łempicki she experienced the atrocities of early stages of the bolshevik revolution, before she managed to flee, together with her whole family, to Finland and farther via Danemark, to France (her husband, who was arrested by the communist Cheka secret police joined them two years later).

Tadeusz Faliszewski i Orkiestra Syrena Rekord pod dyr. Henryka Warsa - Rebeka (Zygmunt Białostocki /Andrzej Włast) Tango z rewii "Yo-yo" teatru Morskie Oko (Tango from theatre Morskie Oko show "Yo-yo"), Syrena-Electro 1932 NOTE: This tango was first sung by actress Dora Kalinówna in Morskie Oko revue "Yo-yo" in November 1932, in Warsaw. The stage setting was the Market Place in Kazimierz Dolny nad Wisłą (Kazimierz /on Vistula River) a lovely renaissance little town located on the riverside cliffs on the bank of Vistula. Before 1939 a large part of that town's population was Jewish, therefore in Polish collective memory Kazimierz has become a kind of a model for a Jewish shtetl in prewar Poland. Dora Kalinówna was an actress and singer in Warsaw cabarets of 1920s and 1930s. She was a favourite of the Warsaw theatre frequenters in her special repertoire of the "schmonces" songs and humoristic scenes, based upon the Polish/Jiddish urban jargon of prewar Warsaw. Dora Kalinówna survived the Holocaust, some say that after 1945 she was seen in the USA, the others claim they read her name in postwar communist Polish newspapers, announcing arrival to Gdańsk and Gdynia in year 1949 "the trouppe of Russian actors" from Moscow with Dora Kalinówna as "fine performer of prewar Polish songs of Julian Tuwim". So, perhaps she survived the war in the USSR and then she stayed there. Composer Zygmunt Białostocki wrote many hits eg tango "Szczęście trzeba rwać jak świeże wiśnie" (Good Luck <b>...</b>

Hans Rehmstedt mit s. Tanzorch., Refrainges. Rudi Dreyer - In Lambert's Nachtlokal (The Lambeth Walk), Electrola 1938 Hans Rehmstedt' orchestra was one of those great German dance bands, who never gave up their heroic attempts to play swing in Berlin in the end of 1930s., when the plaques with the gothic-letter warning: „Swing tanzen verboten!" were hanging in front of the gateways to many dance halls and clubs. This is why the „Lambeth Walk" - great European hit of 1938, has been recorded under the German pseudonim „In Lambert's Nachtlokal" - to hide it from the all-seeing eyes of the Nazi-Reichskulturkammer cenzors. "The Lambeth Walk" is a song from the 1937 musical Me and My Girl (with book and lyrics by Douglas Furber and L. Arthur Rose and music by Noel Gay). The song takes its name from an unremarkable street[1] in Lambeth, an area of London, England. "The Lambeth Walk" has the distinction of being the subject of a headline in The Times in October 1938: "While dictators rage and statesmen talk, all Europe dances — to The Lambeth Walk." The choreography from the musical, in which the song was a show-stopping Cockney-inspired extravaganza, inspired a popular walking dance, done in a jaunty, strutting style. The craze reached Buckingham Palace, with King George and Queen Elizabeth attending a performance and joining in the shouted "Oi" which ends the chorus. In early 1939 the Nazi Party declared the Lambeth Walk "Jewish mischief and animalistic hopping". In 1942 <b>...</b>

He is remembered in the world for the "Tango Jalousie", premiered September 14, 1925. The tango was an international hit, was featured in over 100 films, and the royalties allowed Gade to devote himself to composition fulltime for the rest of his life. The royalties now fund a foundation for young musicians.

This tango was one of greatest Mieczysław Fogg's hits before 1939. The titla translates as: My Loved One. Photos show the streets of pre war Warsaw confronted - on the last shot - with what remained of it after the Warsaw Uprising in August- October 1944. The total demolishion of the city - which was the revenge on the rebellious city taken by Adolf Hitler in one of his last crazy orders - was obediently and systematically fulfilled in the last months of the WWII by Wehrmacht soldiers & the Einsatzgruppen SS: house after house, and street after street... While the Red Armny stood and waited on the other bank of Vistula River, until the ashes of the capital of the country they were planning to incorporate into the USSR, will cool down.

Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz (I.Berlin), Columbia 1930 NOTE: Although Irving Berlin's 1930 song was originally written for vaudevillian Harry Richman, it has become indelibly associated with Astaire, who also recorded it for Columbia in 1930. Sixteen years later he would record the song once more, performing it in the film Blue Skies. This song is an excellent example of the equivocal nature of popular culture during the Depression. While the lyrics speak of the "well-to-do" and seem to celebrate decadence, the lines "watch them spend their last two bits/puttin' on that Ritz" suggest the despair and nihilism of the era.

Pyotr Leshchenko - "The King of Russian Tango", owner of a breathtaking, soft baritone voice - was born on June 14, 1898 in a village Isaeva in Ukraine. His father was a clerk, mother - illiterate. During the First World War, his mother and stepfather moved to Kishinev (now part of Moldavia). As a result Leshchenko has been claimed as a national by Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Romania. In his early childhood he sang in a church choir and learned how to play the guitar and the balalaika. After the war Pyotr worked at various restaurants performing small theatrical acts, mostly dancing. After the revolution, in Paris he took some ballet lessons to perform with his Latvian wife Zinaida, who was a dancer. Their act was a mixture of ballet, folklore dance and European tango, which was so popular it led to tours to Egypt, Persia, Turkey, Germany and Britain. It was at Riga, when he improvised a kind of a gypsy/tango singing to make up for the absence of his pregnant wife, that he discovered he could sing in front of an audience. Skon he started to perform regularily. In 1935 he was at the peak of his success. Though he still included old Russian romances, and even Soviet songs , like „Serdtse" („A Heart" ) - tango from the Stalinist movie production, which was originally sung by Leonid Utyosov - in a different version, as „Kak mnogo devushek horoshih" (How Many Goud Girls Are Around!"). ) In his repertoire, one of his favourites was a Polish composer Jerzy Petersburski, but he <b>...</b>

The „Last Sunday" -- erroneously called „THAT Last Sunday" -- was composed by Jerzy Petersburski in 1936. It is a nostalgic tango with lyrics by Zenon Friedwald describing the final meeting of former lovers who are parting. The Polish title was "To Ostatnia Niedziela" ("The Last Sunday"). The song was extremely popular and was performed by numerous artists (best kown performance by Mieczysław Folg). Along the way, it first gained the nick-name of "Suicide Tango" due to its sad lyric (although, the real „suicie song" in the night restaurants of Eastern Europe -- where the shoot in the brow at 12 at night was not any unusual happening - was In 1930s another sad „Sunday": the „Gloomy Sunday" (in Polish: „Smutna niedziela") by a Hungarian composer Rezső Seress. (Soon, an international hit; in the US sung by Billie Holiday). But this Polish „Last Sunday" song also had a terribly sad fate. During World War II In the concentrations camps it was often played while Jewish prisoners were led to the gas chambers and ovens, to be executed. During World War II its Russian version was prepared by Iosif Alveg and performed by Leonid Utyosov under the title of "Weary Sun" (Russian: "Utomlyennoye Solntse"). After World War II, the song remained largely successful and appeared in a number of films, including Yuriy Norshteyn's 1979 "Tale of Tales" (considered by many international critics to be the greatest animated film ever made), the award-winning Krzysztof Kieślowski's "White" (1994 <b>...</b>

This tango "Głos z daleka" (which translates into English as "Voice From Afar") is kind of weird. The music is haunting, while the text is just repulsive. A very bad poetry, almost graphomanic - about some voice, which calls the singer thru the windy, snowy, wintery night, and - guess, what a voice is it? A voice of love, as all of us probably guessed. (Before love - also appears, God knows why, the voice od "a suffering"). Yet, alltogetger, this text and this music make an unforgetable tango - very popular in pre-war Poland. It's smooth, rhythmical and keen in seducing us - like all tangos do - in their old, kitschy and irresistable way of seducing.

André Claveau - J'ai pleuré sur tes pas (J.Simonot-R.Tessier), Columbia 1943 André CLAVEAU, born in 1911 (or 1915?) in Paris, died in 2003 in Brassac (Tarn), French actor and singer best remembered from his performances between 1940-1960. Son of an upholsterer, he studied decorative arts and designing in La Compagnie des Arts Français, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. He designed posters for popular actors and singers, as well as stage scenery for theatre performances (eg for the premiere of Jean Anouilh's L'Hermine). He statred his singing career in 1936, taking part in the amateur singers competition organised by Le Poste parisien. I the following years he started performing from the secondary to main roles in the music-halls (Théâtre Mogador in 1939, Concert Pacra in 1940 and l'Européen in 1941) gaining among French audiences the honourable title of « Prince de la chanson de charme ». He continued his career after 1945, to retire in the end of the 1960s.

Negrita (Duarte) - Tango-Kapelle, Derby 1929 (Germany) NOTE: Unfortunately, on labels of Derby records, the popular German dance orchestras were released anonymously. Until the end of the Weimar Republic (March 1933) Derby Records produced small (20cm) cheap dance records with light-blue labels where the most popular dance bands of the Roaring Twenties and beginning of 1930s (Julian Fuchs, Efim Schachmeister, Marek Weber, Dajos Bela or Paul Godwin) were monicked as "Karkoff-Orchester" or simply the Tanz-Kapelle. In the 1920s (accoustical recordings) Derby produced standard size records with brown labels and, again, without any detailed specification of the featured artist. However, almost all Derby sides are the most typical examples of the Goldene Zwanziger Jahre dance madness and are very much searched for by the collectors.

Among all great Weimar Republic orchestras, Adolf Ginsburg remains the misterious personality. All what is known for sure from his life are thefacts that he was a violinist, he came to Germany from St. Petersburgh (probvably, with the whole great wave of the Russian emigrants after the Bolshevik Revolution), and that in the late 1920s he established his own dance orchestra in Berlin. He soon became so succesful as to be employed to play in the most fashionable restaurants and Tanz-Diele of Berlin (eg Cafe Berlin). Not much record remains about his activites after 1933 - the year when he, as most of the Jews living in Germany, perhaps became an emigrant to America - to eventually fade in the crowd of the first class vibrant & new style American players, who emerged in the US after the Great Depression.

It is our YT friend's request: Al HOFFMAN (1902--1960) - composer of this great American hit of 1940s. He was a songwriter in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, usually co-writing with others. Hoffman was born in Minsk - formerly Poland, now Belarus. His family -- like many other Jewish families living in Russia occupied territories - emigrated to the US. They lived in Seattle, Washington, and when he graduated from high school, he started his own band, playing the drums. In 1928 Al moved to New York City to pursue his music career. Though he continued playing the drums in night club bands and selling bagels door-to-door on Broadway, he began writing songs, collaborating with such other songwriters as Leon Carr, Leo Corday, Mann Curtis, Mack David, Al Goodhart, Walter Kent, Sammy Lerner, Jerry Livingston, Bob Merrill or Ed Nelson. In 1934 he moved to London to work on stage productions and movies, co-writing the hit songs "She Shall Have Music" and "Everything Stops For Tea". He returned to the US three years later. His best kown songs are "Heartaches" (1931), "Auf Wiedersehen, My Dear" (1932), and "I Saw Stars" (1934). Recording: Ted Weems & His Orchestra, whistle by Elmo Tanner - Heartaches (J.
