Irving Aaronson ad His Commanders, Vocal chorus by Harmon Nelson -- The Day You Came Along, Fox Trot from "Too Much Harmony" (Johnston -- Colsow), Vocalion 1933 (USA)
NOTE: Irving AARONSON -- (1895, New York City - 1963, Hollywood, CA) -- American bandleader and jazz pianist. At age 11 he played piano in the silent movie theaters. He studied at the David Mannes Music School and in 1921 he formed his own band - the Versatile Sextette, later renamed the Crusaders. In 1925, the band signed with the Victor label where its name was changed to Irving Aaronson and his Commanders. The band became a star after appearance of Aaronson's recording of the Yellen/Ager pure-nonsense-hit "Crazy Words, Crazy Tunes" that introduced the once-ubiquitous phrase "vo-do-de-o." Shortly thereafter, the band had another success with Let's Misbehave, featuring the memorable vocal by Phil Saxe. This recording became one of musical icons of crazy years 1920. The success was followed by the band's appearance on stage in Cole Porter's Broadway musical Paris, in 1928. The Aaronson's band had its haeyday in the atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties, when the hot-dance rhythm of most of the hits and the public appreciation for the "crazy words - crazy tunes" posed friendly atmosphere for the eccentric artists with the sense of homour. In 1930s the Aaronson's band toured movie theatres and ballrooms across the U.S. before calling it quits in the mid-1930s, at which time Aaronson went to work as a musical director for MGM studios. He remained there as assistant to producer Joe Pasternak until his death from a heart attack in 1963.
