 Rating:  - BRAVO, Asv!!!!!This is another review from the GIRL who wrote the other kid's review from Dec.11. I wanted to say that I am a GIRL because another reviewer posted a comment on my review and called me a YOUNG MAN. A LAD. But I am not, I am a YOUNG WOMAN. A LASS. Now, I am sure this was unintentional becuase I did not state my gender in the last review, and I thank the person who wrote commen for their kind remarks, but I just HAD to say this because being called a young man did not agree with me, and I did not want other people who might read my review to get the wrong idea. Now then, this CD is great!! The English label Asv really makes nice CDs of old-timey music, and this one is as good as all the others they make. Russ's voice comes over un-static and ...

My friends are always listening and sighing over a new song by some rapper like Usher or what, but personally love sighing over the romantic voices of the old crooners of the 30s. And my favorite crooner of all time is Russ Columbo. Well, actually I like Dick Powell better, but only when he sings to Ruby Keeler, because I think that she was his best partner. But back to Russ. When you hear that deep, romantic voice, you can't help falling in love with it. I bought this after I saw a Russ Columbo movie, 1934's Wake Up and Dream. I loved it! I loved Russ's voice, I didn't particularly like Roger Pyror, there were nice musical numbers, and my favorite actress ... Read More: Rating:  - Good CroonerIt's difficult to speculate where Russ Columbo would have gone in his career. Many (including my own father) claim that he was copied by Bing Crosby. If you listen to a number of late 1920s solo recordings by Bing, when he was with Paul Whiteman's Rhythm Boys, you may conclude, as I do, that this is not the case. Regardless, there is room for both, and Columbo may have developed into a stronger singer had the tragic event that ended his life not occurred. In a 2-reel short, that I saw him in, Columbo presented a breezy acting style and likeable personality which he probably could have parlayed into a movie career. It's a sad story. Enjoy these wonderful songs evoking the early depression-era 1930s. Rating: - Just listen and ponder what might have beenIn September 1934 Russ Columbo had the world on a string. Just 26 years old, Columbo had established himself as one of the up and coming male vocalists of the day. He was also a trained violinist. He hosted his own NBC radio network show and had already made a splash in the movies. In addition, he was also a very capable songwriter. So much to live for. Yet in one of the most bizarre incidents you'll ever hear of Russ Columbo lost his life on September 2, 1934. Columbo was visiting a close friend who kept a set of supposedly unloaded Civil War dueling pistols on his desk as paper weights. In order to light a cigarette his friend struck a match on one of the pistols in such a way as to set off a charge that was still in the gun. The bullet ...

Nice collection spanning Russ's 1928-1934 recording career. Note, one track (the Gus Arnheim Orchestra's "Glad Rag Doll") does not have a Columbo vocal although he is present as a violinist. Great vintage tunes and Columbo's rich delivery make this a must for lovers of romantic 1930's balladry. |
