One of my favorite songs from that era. Ruth sings it wonderfully.

Wonderful recording,thank you for the bonus of the film clip.

Wayne Brasler

At this point she had markedly matured as an artist and shed all her affectations and the difference is a revelation. Here she is totally contemporary and would today sound right in place. Ruth was so offended when Doris Day said, making "Love Me or Leave Me," I never could understand why anyone would be a kept woman." It's not how Ruth thought of herself.What is most notable about Ruth I think is the amount of truly great American songs she recorded and made forever popular.She had a magic touch.

is she original singer? nice song

Patrick Kehoe

By the mid-1930s - as shown here - those rolling 20s affectations in her voice had been dropped and her sound simplified to allow the clarity, diction and more natural intonations of her voice to come through... AND WHAT A VOICE... it's certainly a voice from the earliest side of the "American Song Book" but there's such emotionally honesty and a kind of worldly sincerity premeating each word... very impressive pop(ular) singer/song stylist...P

Really good music, James. The early 20th century was quite colorful, what with "Moe the Gimp" as Ruth's manager-husband.
