Wow! Such Schmaltz!!! Ya gotta love Joan Crawford singing this to handsome young Clark Gable in her big 1933 film musical "Dancing Lady", before she danced off with Fred Astaire on a magic carpet! I wonder if she owned and played this record! If so, she must have been pleased! It's loaded with all that 1933 Hollywood Glamor and romance you could ask for! I love the "Talkie Hits", and this one is (using 30s slang,) simply grand!
Composer Burton Lane was only twenty-one when he came up with this gem, which I consider one of his best songs, among many very fine numbers. Though my favorite versions are Art Jarrett's, with the MGM studio orchestra in _Dancing Lady_ , as well as Gene Austin's relaxed take, on which Jimmy Dorsey and Joe Venuti are present, I like this rendition, too. Though he got around, I always associate Frank Sylvano most closely with Isham Jones' band -- even though I prefer rhythm vocalist Eddie Stone. ... "Everything I Have Is Yours" was intended to be star Joan Crawford's number, providing an opportunity for the fair hoofer to prove her comparable mediocrity as vocalist, but the melody's range was determined to be too wide for her voice, so she was reduced to the unchallenging tags at the end of each line, while Art handled the heavy lifting.
I know this chart well - its by Frank Skinner, the dean of stock arrangers. The tenor sax part (mine) doubles the melody _and_ adds fills, all legato, leaving nowhere to take a breath for 16 bars at a time! Jerry Freeman took advantage of a modulation to make a neat cut right after the vocal that sounds totally "written that way." Side -A is an instrumental, unusual for an RCA dance date. Its another M-G-M tune, this one from an Alice Brady pic, _Stage Mother._ th-cam.com/video/l5wZm3AOMxg/w-d-xo.html
I don't put down bands for playing stocks if the performance is good. A lot of these stocks (like this one) can't be surpassed, as those arrangers were among the best in the business. This is a gorgeous arrangement and performance, even if the vibes chord I was expecting on the coda never happened.
Enjoyed your comments! Love tenor sax. I played in a tenor band and found a 1932 Frank Skinner band arrangement of "You're Gunna Lose Your Gal". Very fine chart but taxing to play!! Gave me a new appreciation for the skills and stamina those 30's musicians had to have to play those very demanding Skinner stock charts!! Frank moved up to film score writing in Hollywood, like George Raft's '39 "Broadway". Great career!
@@RecordCollector96 I played in three bands, two tenor bands and a retro 40s swing band. The tenor bands were Tommy Johnson's Orchestra, and Milton Dick's Orchestra. Both locked into the 30s sound. Tommy had medley charts like Anson Weeks. Great fun. Tommy loved my version of "Can't We Talk It Over". which I had memorized off the 1931 piano music. .Milton had a bone player who had played with Ted Weems. Thanks for asking. Miss em both. Frank SKINNERS charts are the best but real huff and puffers for the sax section! Who is your fave sax man? Mine is Don Redman.

Love these early Buff Bluebirds. Very danceable music.
Truly just BEAUTIFUL! What a Romantic Record!
one of the greatest songs ever imo
Really nice recording of an old favorite.... interesting combination of smooth hotel horns and strings and Boom-Chuck rhythm.. nice and danceable!...
Thank you for sharing this gem.
Great song done beautifule by Paul Weston in 1948.

Rudy Vallee recorded this on Victor.

Almost as great as Richard Himber’s version
