Ah, who can forget that great version in Young Frankenstein when the monster dances very nimbly in top hat and tails and screeches in a high monotone "puttin'onaritz" ?

Love this clever number - especially this version of it. Thank you for sharing.

I was told, the original was performed in 1929, not in 30. Anyway it sounds great . WTG !

Okay, I'm just throwin' this out there -- who was it that did the Leo Reisman orchestra's arrangements from this era?? Were these the arrangements from stage or screen sheet music? Really I just wanna find out if any are still written down. Even if I could find out who arranged 'Night and Day' (an amazing arrangement even by today's standards) for this orchestra, it'd be something.

better than those kooky lyrics about gary cooper. give me harlem!

FRANK JACOBS

Can't fault the arrangement of this wonderful Berlin concoction, but the vocal is just barely adequate, if even that. Better that lovers of this number listen to the recordings by Harry Richman or Fred Astaire. effjay

Aeolian Hall

This is by far the best version I have ever heard.

Max Seligmann

The real title is HERNANDO RIDES AWAY or in spanish El escondite de Hernando.-

I like these lyrics...Maybe just because they mention Harlem.

Jim Davis

To my mind there has never been a classier version of this, one of the greatest songs of that era. The Leo Reisman band was one of the best.

You see, I was tired to heard this song, but this rendition is a horse of different color, sooo hot and crazy!!

The original Ritz-Carlton was on Madison & E46th St on the East side of the Ave - it was torn down in 1951. It was close to other notable neighbors including the New York Central RR-owned hotels - the Biltmore, the Roosevelt, the Barclay and the Waldorf.

Barry I. Grauman

The song was originally featured in Harry Richman's "talkie" of the same name (revived by Fred Astaire in 1946, with Irving Berlin supplying "updated" lyrics for him to use). That's former Duke Ellington trumpeter Bubber Miley giving out with a "hot" solo at 1:32. The band's violinist, Lew Conrad, delivers the vocal here, which was recorded on January 20, 1930.
