It is our YT friend's request:

Al HOFFMAN (1902--1960) - composer of this great American hit of 1940s. He was a songwriter in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, usually co-writing with others. Hoffman was born in Minsk - formerly Poland, now Belarus. His family -- like many other Jewish families living in Russia occupied territories - emigrated to the US. They lived in Seattle, Washington, and when he graduated from high school, he started his own band, playing the drums. In 1928 Al moved to New York City to pursue his music career. Though he continued playing the drums in night club bands and selling bagels door-to-door on Broadway, he began writing songs, collaborating with such other songwriters as Leon Carr, Leo Corday, Mann Curtis, Mack David, Al Goodhart, Walter Kent, Sammy Lerner, Jerry Livingston, Bob Merrill or Ed Nelson.

In 1934 he moved to London to work on stage productions and movies, co-writing the hit songs "She Shall Have Music" and "Everything Stops For Tea". He returned to the U.S. three years later. His best kown songs are "Heartaches" (1931), "Auf Wiedersehen, My Dear" (1932), and "I Saw Stars" (1934).

Bonnie Ann Shaw was featured whistling on "Heartaches", which was on track number four of the 1956 Ted Weems album: "The Man From The South", on Bally Records Number BAL 12007. There were several versions of "Heartaches" issued. The 1938 issue was 2:41, the 1947 issue was 2:57, and the 1956 issue was 2:14. You can easily identify the Bonnie Ann Shaw version by it's relatively short (2:14) length. If you or anyone you may know could upload this RARE 2:14 length version I would really appreciate it.

This 1938 version is better than the 1947 or the 1933 versions. Different members can really make the tune sound different.

I'd love to have the water color of that group dancing that introduces this classic.

The Jewish song writers were great because they knew first hand of oppression , as well as sadness. Same goes for Jewish comedians.

Great drumming especially behind Elmo. And unbelievably the static in the background actually lends to the nostalgia.

Wow , what posting. I'll bet that's the only top tune that didn't have to be hummed by the music lovers of the day. It could be as Lauren Bacall said to Bogie in a movie, just put your lips together and blow,

You ain't just a woffin', boyo I'm FIFTY-Eight and always wanted to live in the dirty thirties. Well, like the man said, be CAREFUL! We've got the unemployment, the hope (and change) lessness and the desperation. What we DON'T have are the Duesenbergs, Fred and Ginger, Busby Berkeley and all the rest. Are we going to just lie here and take it? Our grampas wouldn't have. Let's make them proud. America can still be great, if we're strong enough to make Her so. With me?
