Roaring 1920s: Nat Shilkret & Henry Burr - Why Should I Say That I'm Sorry,1926 video free download
Nat Shilkret & His Orchestra, Vocal refrain by Henry Burr -- Why Should I Say That I'm Sorry?, Fox Trot (Larry Conley), Victor 1926 (USA)
NOTE: Nat Shilkret (1889 -- 1982) was an American composer, clarinetist, pianist and conductor of the Jewish-Austrian origin, who was between 1926-35 the light music recording director in Victor Records company. He led also one of the best dance orchestras in USA thru 1920s/30s. Hundreds of his dance recordings he made for Victor under his own name as well as International Novelty Orchestra, All Star Orchestra or Victor Dance Orchestra need no recommendation and fortunately, many of them can be listened to in the web as well as in You Tube. This little known recording of a hot fox trot /charleston from 1926, is a rare gem also because of the Vocal chorus made by brilliant Canadian tenor, Henry Burr http://youtu.be/rI7wqaYvcs8

You can visit any time; just bring your dancing shoes. (Good description of the D.C. power scene, which, fortunately, is miles away from me.)12 years ago

Hey, I also wish I had Fort T from 1923!!! :-) I always cry when I see dozens of them being smashed, broken, crushed etc. in all those slapstick silent movies with Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton!12 years ago

Yes, Henry Burr broke all possible world records in recording ("records in recording..." hmmm...) but indeed, such a hot dance number is rather a rarity in his repertoire.12 years ago

Shilkret is one of my favourite bandleaders. When I was a kid, I loved most of all playing the side with his "Broadway Baby Dolls". I think, My Mum and Dad should have forbidden me doing it! :-)12 years ago

Indeed, it's rather a peculiar combination: his tenor voice, so delicate and full of melancholy - and that really hot tune. But see - it works! :-) Thank you!12 years ago

Hi B, what a scene with you dancing on the Capitol Hill, among all those limos with black windows and those so serius and BUUUSYYYY guys, with their laptops and briefcases!~ Oh, I only wish I could see it :-)12 years ago

Makes me want to dance around the room. I think I'll do exactly that-- and proceed onto the street on this warm early summer day.Related Videos
