Gus Arnheim & His Cocoanut Grove Orchestra - Singin' In The Rain, Fox-trot from MGM picture "Hollywood Revue of 1929", Victor 1929

NOTE: Gus ARNHEIM (b.1897 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- d.1955 in Los Angeles, California) American bandleader and composer (he is noted for writing several songs with his first hit being "I Cried for You" from 1923). He grew up in Chicago and for some time he was accompanist to a famous vadeuvillian, Sophie Tucker. In 1919 he travelled to California, where he joined drummer Abe Lyman and violinist Henry Halstead to make a trio at the Sunset Inn, in Santa Monica. When Lyman organized a full dance orchestra, Arnheim came along as pianist, leaving to start his own group in 1927. His band was most popular thru late 1920s and early 1930s, when he had an extended engagement at the Cocoanut Grove in Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. In 1930, when Paul Whiteman finished filming The King of Jazz, The Rhythm Boys vocal trio, consisting of Bing Crosby, Harry Barris and Al Rinker decided to stay in California and they signed up with Arnheim's band. While the Rhythm Boys only recorded one song with Arnheim, "Them There Eyes", which also happened to be The Rhythm Boys final recording, Arnheim's Orchestra backed Crosby on a number of songs released by Victor in 1931. These popular records, coupled with Arnheim's radio broadcasts featuring Crosby's solo vocals, were a key element to the beginning of Crosby's popularity as a crooner. Some more notable people worked with Arnheim's band: Fred MacMurray played clarinet and tenor sax in 1930-31 and sang on one recording ("All I Want Is Just One"), Russ Columbo played violin in 1930 and sang on "A Peach Of A Pair", Eddie Cantor and Joan Crawford (!) each recorded a song for Arnheim in 1931, although the Crawford side ("How Long Will It Last?") was not issued. Cantor's side, "There's Nothing Too Good for My Baby," was issued but without vocalist credit.
