1936 Ted Fio Rito - The Night Is Young And You’re So Beautiful (Stanley Hickman, vocal)

[@davidtodora6173]

Fio Rito had a dang good orchestra. Wonderful from the mid 1930’s. Thank You

[@khussein6409]

NICE!

[@lukasg6557]

It’s interesting how long an intro these songs from the 30s have. In the 50s and early 60s pop songs had a very common structure and they’d assume the faster you get into vocals the more likely the listener would pay attention I suppose.

[@jourwalis-8875]

They don´t have a long intro. The vocals is only a refrain song.

It's probably irreverent of me to bring this up, but ... _Robin Hood: Men in Tights_ .

[@swingman5635]

I say possibly,but definitely hilarious!😂

At least Stanley could hit the high notes, where Cary Elwes was clearly dubbed.

[@Trombonology]

@@ericandy88 The fact that he's so obviously dubbed adds to the effect of the scene.

[@toronado455]

3:00 sounds like recorder, then recorder + clarinet, or is this all just clarinet?

[@Trombonology]

Clearly both.

@@Trombonology I was forced to play a hideous, plastic version of the recorder,in grade school. It was a dismal excercise in futility for me,as well as the instructor. It lasted all of two weeks, lol.

[@Trombonology]

@@swingman5635 Yeah, I had the plastic recorder experience, too, but actually enjoyed it. Besides the obligatory "Hot Cross Buns," we were taught to play U of M's fight song, "Hail to the Victors," which required a tricky fingering -- that took some work. My mother rewarded my efforts at Christmastime with my very own wooden recorder.

@@swingman5635 Not talent - just an obsessive tendency.
