About
First Time on CD! The early history of Broadway performance from stars Al Jolson, Fanny Brice, Beatrice Lillie, Eddie Cantor, and more (including Cole Porter singing "You're the Top") is preserved on this exclusive CD reissue.
Originals – Musical Comedy 1909-1935 is the perfect introduction to a lost world: the Broadway musical just as it was changing from a vaudeville-style entertainment to an art form. This unique collection from 1968 includes legendary names and recordings from the era: Blanche Ring’s “Rings on My Fingers,” Cole Porter himself singing “You’re the Top” and Fanny Brice in “Second Hand Rose,” along with Helen Morgan, Libby Holman, Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson, Beatrice Lillie and the comedy team of Gallagher and Shean in the number that stopped The Ziegfeld Follies, “Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean.” Collectors will want to own this long-unavailable set and for younger listeners, it will be a fascinating piece of cultural archeology.
