Leave it to Byron Gay to pen another "exotic" tune!

Interesting old song... Does anyone know about this orchestra? The names of the members? This record may have been for sale to tourists who came to the resort where the orchestra performed.

Well possibly not - but they were certainly 'male vamps'!

Michael Mcgee

Elvis Presly was not gay. Robert Mitchum an that other actor of R.K.O. was not gay

Really rare record - I've not heard this before. It opens quoting the better known tune "The Vamp" which was just a couple of years earlier and would have been known to the audience. Thanks. Nice slideshow too!

Hahaha you can see Dick Powell at the left looking at the queer couple 2:44 before being gay was understood or discriminated!

You've taught me some English! I had no idea 'Perversive' was a word. I shall apply it to unnatural but delicious things, such as Apricot-Plum hybrids. I made Perversive Foxtrot my lead video for a day or so. As always, your video is top quality.

Gevalt! Fegalim!

Gary Katz

You have fantastic photos that give the music that extra"oomph"

Thank you for that info. Jolson always looked like he was a nice and decent man and now you have confirmed it.

genia106

Yes, Now I can see Jolson. What a great pictre! Thank you for the info. I just love this video.

Vieux Disques

Yes, it's from the movie "Wonder Bar", if I don't make a mistake. I love this kind of music, thanks!

Gary Katz

Great tune that plays in 20's rhythm. Who was band leader?

barbcard

Lots of clever sub-text here. Welcome back. I just read Annie Proulx's short story "Brokeback Mountain," the source for the movie. Hope the family is well. Did you happen to see that "little Polish waiter?"

genia106

I hope you don't mind, I have put it right on MY VLOG on my channel page and it shall remain there until after New Years. It is a perfect for the New Year 2009, we need the MERRIMENT! Thanks.

genia106

It was a WORK OF ART!

Grzegorz, This is so DIVINLY DECADENT! I LOVE IT! I see the games have begun..:-) Love the expression on the face of the Orchestra leader in the photo at 2:45. Love those VAMPS. Thank you for the FUN!
