    Remastered Rhapsodies

    Remastered Rhapsody in Blue - The Paul Whiteman Orchestra, conducted ...

    Remastered Rhapsody in Blue - The Paul Whiteman Orchestra, conducted by Nat Shilkret, with George Gershwin on piano (1927)Creole Rhapsody - Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra (1931)Fifi's Rhapsody - The John Kirby Orchestra (1941)Ebony Rhapsody - Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra (1934)The Guy With The Slide Trombone (Hungarian Rhapsody) The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra (1945)Melancholy Rhapsody - The Harry James Orchestra (1941)Lazy Rhapsody - Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra (1932)Second Rhapsody - The Paul Whiteman Orchestra, with George Gershwin on piano (1931)What makes The Jazz-O-Rama Hour unique is that Bev remasters all the 78 RPM records he plays."Most CD collections compress these old recordings to limit the hiss, pops and crackles. The result is a loss of the full depth of the music. I bring back all the bass, treble and mid-tones, so you can hear it all," explains Bev, who adds that listeners will notice a soft high pitched hiss on "Rhapsody in Blue," a small price to pay for the rich sound of Whiteman's band.George Gershwin with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra conducted by Nat ShilkretRhapsody in Blue (Victor 35822, 1927) More about Waterlogg Productions at http://www.waterlogg.com.

    Popeye Meets Betty Boop

    I Wanna Be Loved By You - Helen Kane (1928) ...

    I Wanna Be Loved By You - Helen Kane (1928) I'm Pop-eye the Sailor Man - Billy Costello (1935) Man on the Flying Trapeze - Billy Costello (1934) Button Up Your Overcoat Helen Kane (1929) The Teddy Bear's Picnic - Billy Costello (1935) That's Why I'm Happy  - Helen Kane-  (1929) Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing - Billy Costello (1935) I Have to Have You - Helen Kane (1929) Good Ship Yakihiki Dooda - Billy Costello (1935) My Man is on the Make - Helen Kane (1930) Nagasaki - Billy Costello (1935) I Want to Be Bad  - Helen Kane (1929) Dinah - Billy Costello (1935) Dangerous Nan McGrew - Helen Kane (1930) Tiger Rag - Billy Costello (1935) William "Billy" Costello a.k.a. "Red Pepper Sam", was the original voice of Popeye the Sailor in animated cartoons. Costello had worked with the Fleischer Studio as the voice of Gus the Gorilla on the Betty Boop radio show and they felt that the raspy voice he had used for that character would work for the new Popeye character they were planning. He was cast to provide the voice for the first Popeye cartoon, 1933's Popeye the Sailor. Costello appeared in the next 24 Popeye shorts until he was fired by the Fleischers, allegedly over "bad behavior," and was replaced with Jack Mercer. Costello's final appearance was in You Gotta Be A Football Hero (1935). Helen Kane became known as the 'Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl' because of her baby-talk, scat-singing tag line to that song. This version was recorded right when Kane's popularity started to reach its peak, and became her signature song. Kane's first performance at the Paramount Theater in Times Square proved to be her career's launching point. She was singing "That's My Weakness Now", when she interpolated the scat lyrics “boop-boop-a-doop.” This resonated with the flapper culture, and four days later, Helen Kane’s name went up in lights.Two years later, a cartoon character named Betty Boop was modeled after Kane. In 1930, Fleischer Studios animator Grim Natwick introduced a caricature of Helen Kane, with droopy dog ears and a squeaky singing voice, in the Talkartoons cartoon Dizzy Dishes. "Betty Boop", as the character was later dubbed, soon became popular and the star of her own cartoons. In 1932, Betty Boop was changed into a human, the long dog ears becoming hoop earrings. Helen Kane unsuccessfully sued Max Fleischer over the character. More about Waterlogg Productions at http://www.waterlogg.com.
