I'm Just An Ordinary Human
Words by Larry Yoell, music by Al Jacobs
Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians, vocal chorus by Lombardo Trio
March 1, 1935
Decca 424
Although this song is not well known today, it was included as incidental music in the soundtracks of two 1935 motion pictures: "Personal Maid's Secret" (1935) and "The Case of the Lucky Legs" (1935).
By 1935, the Lombardo orchestra was heard weekly on a half-hour radio broadcast "Lombardo Road" and mostly through radio had become the most popular orchestra in the nation for the fifth year in a row. The 1936 ranking was determined from the votes of 239 radio editors in the fifth annual New York World Telegram Radio Editors Poll. Other orchestras which ranked in the top 16 were, in descending order, Wayne King, Ray Noble, Casa Loma, Fred Waring, Richard Himber, Eddie Duchin, Paul Whiteman, Hal Kemp, Horace Heidt, Ben Bernie, Benny Goodman, Jan Garber, Ozzie Nelson, Isham Jones and Abe Lyman. The same year, Kate Smith was voted top songstress and Bing Crosby top male singer.
