Here's some more Ruth Etting for your listening pleasure. It's interesting for me to see how many of these songs were covered by other artists. Several of these were sung by Annette Hanshaw, and at least seven by Chick Bullock. You're the Cream in My Coffee alone was recorded by over 20 different bands and singers. Enjoy. +

Top o' the morning, Chester.
I hate to put a damper on the day, but there's no download link for this. Instead of your usual plus/minus sign, there is only a plus sign, and it doesn't link to anywhere.

Thanks, Jeff. I don't know why, but Blogger seems to do that from time to time. The link should be good now.
It's working fine now, Chester.
Thanks for the prompt follow-up, as well as for the great music!
Chester,
I was very surprised to see that all the ASV catalog is now out of print because the company seems to have gone out of business... Certainly a shame, since their releases were always wonderful, sometimes including a lot of lesser-known names.
Fortunately, I bought their two discs on Ruth Etting, and they are marvelous. I must admit that I first heard of Ruth Etting as a little kid thanks to the great biopic Love Me or Leave Me. Doris Day is a great singer, and I like her versions of some of these songs in the movie (I am working on one article on that soundtrack for my website), but they really can't compare with the charm of the originals.
Etting was no jazz singer (Annette Hanshaw sounded a lot hotter, for instance), but she had a very sweet voice and knew how to interpret a lyric. This ASV disc is certainly my favorite release on her classic sides.
Anton.

Hi Chester! When you get the chance, please re-up this Ruth Etting CD and the April 1, 2009 posting of Ruth Etting. As always, thank you!
Ready to enjoy again!
Thank you! I stumbled on a creepy Chick Bullock tune "The Boogie Man" here: http://musicformaniacs.blogspot.com/2013/10/halloween-stomp-haunted-house-party.html (just in case you don't already have it!).
