BLUE BARRON

Hallo,
es gibt ja nicht gerade wenige Big Band-Orchesterleiter, die bereits hier im Forum am Rande der Rock'n'Roll-Historie vorgestellt wurden.

Hier möchte ich einen weiteren dieser Künstler anfügen: Blue Barron.
(* November 19, 1913, + July 16, 2005), born Harry Freidman, was an American orchestra leader the 1940s and early 1950s during the "Big Band" era.
Born in Cleveland/Ohio, he studied at Ohio State University before going into show business. He adopted the stage name Blue Barron and by 1940 had created his own orchestra. His band's more subdued tone was referred to as "Sweet" music to distinguish it from the "Swing" bands of the era. Barron's orchestra began in the New York City area but later toured the U.S. and performed at popular venues in Los Angeles where they also appeared in several motion pictures and recorded a number of LPs.

In den US Pop-Charts habe ich 11 Einträge gefunden. Besonders hinweisen möchte ich sauf die Erfolge
Chi-Baba Chi-Baba (My Bambino Go To Sleep) 1947 # 14
Cruising Down The River 1949 # 1
Are You Lonesome Tonight 1950 # 19

Anfügen möchte ich einen VERSUCH einer 78er-Disco:

Ergänzend ..............
Interessant erscheint mir der mannigfache Einsatz verschiedener Vocalisten.
