Can't help but miss that era. Dorset had a great band
Saw buddy not long before he died, he was great right up to his death. Todays musicians will never match him.
Love Virginia O'Brien's deadpan delivery.
She did a great job!
Amazing Musiciens and Artists, great vocal performance,😃😃
What a shame that there is no film of Buddy as a kid playing drums.
LOL, Buddy made her smile for a moment.
This number was cut from 'Ship Ahoy' (1942). 'The Great Morgan' was a grab-bag of items retrieved from the cutting room floor. The short feature, only released overseas, was supposed to be about Frank Morgan- seen for a moment in a cutaway- setting up as a producer (cf 'The Great Ziegfeld').
Ms Deadpan had another comedy number, 'Poor You', in which she follows Sinatra, Tommy's vocalist in '42. But by the time 'The Great Morgan' came out, Rich had gone from Dorsey's to Uncle Sam's service and MGM had let O'Brien go.
I love this❤
The sax solo is played by Sid Caesar.
Must be the only time anyone thought Buddy was 'as romantic as they come'.
This is the Dorsey lineup that produced 'Hawaiian War Chant' and 'I'll Take Tallulah', with its incredible interplay between Buddy and Eleanor Powell. Guess MGM reckoned that and 'Poor You', with Sinatra and O'Brien vocalizing, was enough value in one movie.
Well,......... only if they can't feel the undercurrent in their uteruses..
This is a sign of the times. In a humorous, oblique way, a lot of songs in WW2 musicals reflected women's fears of not finding an all-American mate. Some guys would not come back, or would be too hurt in mind or body to be marriageable; others might find wives ('GI brides) among the ladies they liberated, served alongside or even fraternized with amid the conquered enemies.
A serious concern when most women saw their futures as bound up with the ring, the home and kids. In 1940s America few wanted to be 'career girls' and nothing else.
The classic expression of sexual insecurity stands this on its head. In 'Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree' a departing warrior tells his girl to wait for an unknown period 'till I come marching home'. But in reality more men than women wandered and wavered.
Is that ziggy elman doing the small trumpet solo before they show buddy rich
Yes, it's Ziggy Elman
So funny! At 3:00 when he wants to play the hi-hat and the snare at the same time, his right hand goes under his left because the hi-hat is so low!!
Was that a Rogers Drum set?
erzug Radio Kings
Slingerland Radio KIngs to be exact.
I was being facetious, actually.
erzug You don't do that very well.
I purchased a Rogers Holiday set with Dyansonic snare in 1966 mainly because Buddy played them and his good friend, Ellis Tollin, demo'd them for me at his center city "Music City" in Philadelphia, so I know all about when Rogers drums came into existence. I guess I should have said "just kidding" or something like that.
I wonder if Keely Smith borrowed Virginia O'Brien's deadpan schtick?
More like 1942
3:02 Girl disses Tommy Dorsey big-time.
It was all scripted! Dorsey stuck to arrangements!
Lol, I guess "gay" had a different meaning back in those days.
Tommy Dorsey’s got that rizz 🔥
Epoca de gente civilizada.
