Description
The session that produced this track (issued on Columbia’s dime store labels) had been preceded four days earlier by a Selvin that produced a different arrangement of the song with vocal by Frank Munn. It was issued on the parent label under Selvin’s name (listen here: https://youtu.be/FQsWBOd8wS8 ). And for yet another Scrappy Lambert vocal of this Dietz & Schwartz standard from “The Band Wagon,” here he sang with Victor Young conducting (released as by “Art Kahn” & his Orchestra”): https://youtu.be/nPgo4bD5eJA
Transferred from 78rpm Harmony 1334-H - Dancing In The Dark (Schwartz-Dietz) by Roy Carroll and his Sands Point Orchestra (Ben Selvin), vocal by Scrappy Lambert, recorded in NYC June 5, 1931 (actual label scan not available) .
