Lots of fun music in the 80s. While she's not from the 80s, a favorite vocalist who is from the 30s is Connie Boswell:

I like FRISCO JENNY quite a bit. Yes, it is kind of "Madam X"-like in plot, but it's an enjoyable enough film, plus it has in a small role James (THE CROWD) Murry. Sad to see such a promising actor already hitting the skids by this time. It may be more an exception than the rule, but I feel that the characters in TROUBLE IN PARADISE seem to "sin" and get away with more than most other pre-code film characters. For exapmle: Gaston and Lily are thieves who also live together. Gaston steals Madame Colet's purse, then later sleeps with her. Later Gaston and Lily steal from Madame Colet (who all but thanks them for it), and get away with the crime at the end of the film. No wonder this film was not seen after 1934 until the late 1960s.

> musicalnovelty wrote: Definitely Arthur Housman (sort of preceded Jack Norton in the 1930's). > Hilarious with Laurel & Hardy. And there are some Thelma Todd / Patsy Kelly shorts (such as DONE IN OIL and TREASURE BLUES) in which he is just excellent - he seemed to have a special chemistry with them. I agree. Arthur Housman is my pick too.

My dad was also a big Glenn Miller fan. This was one of my dad's favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huysjo29P6o

THE MAN IN POSSESSION is one of my favorite ealry 30s films with Robert Montgomery. It has such a wonderful cast. It captures the essence of British humor nicely.

Hard to beat The Man in Black! More Johnny:

Nice one! I am a fan of Oscar Aleman too! Another blues guitarist I really like is Lonnie Johnson:

...And from Wings there's this Venus related song:

Bertha Hill and Louis Armstrong, "Trouble In Mind" (1926) In spite of the primitive elecrtical recordeing equipment used by OKeh records at the time, the power and beauty of this performance shines through. A true classic and a big favorite of mine:

Great stuff! You can't go wrong with Louis! Here's more on the Mardi Gras theme... "New Orleans" by Hoagy Carmichael: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afx58X5V_g0 "Winin' Boy Blues" by Jelly Roll Morton:
