American Music in the 1930s
We asked our viewers, "What do you think of when you think of the 1930s?" Amy S. from Columbus, Ohio, sent us this video, which discusses how the adversity of the times produced an explosion of creativity in popular music - in so many different genres! "I think that the '30s might be right up there with the '60s with regard to the lasting importance and influence on American music. And it makes sense, since the '60s was such a tumultuous decade as well," she writes.
Play! Girls (1930s musical short)
"Play! Girls" is a short low-budget musical film by the weirdly-named "Educational Films Corporation of America", a highly prolific maker of short films. Consists of several music and/or dancing acts tied together with a paper-thin plot. Quite fun to watch. (I also uploaded this to the internet archive).
You owe it to yourself to watch this 1930 musical mumber !

They produced novelty jazz numbers featuring Slim's distinctive vocal style with vocalese and scats, hipster argot and nonce words. Sam Allen also played piano on many of their recordings.

In 1930 it was reborn as "Confessin'," with new lyrics by Al Neiburg, and with the music this time credited to Doc Daugherty and Ellis Reynolds. Louis Armstrong made his first, and highly influential, recording of the song in August 1930, and continued to play it throughout his career. Other important recorded versions in the United States were done by Chester Gaylord (1930), Guy Lombardo (1930), Rudy Vallee (1930), (Perry Como (1945), Les Paul and Mary Ford (1952), and Anne Murray (1993).

"Puttin' on the Ritz" is a popular song written and published in 1929 by Irving Berlin and introduced by Harry Richman in the musical film Puttin' on the Ritz (1930). The title derives from the slang expression "putting on the Ritz," meaning to dress very fashionably. The expression was inspired by the swanky Ritz Hotel.

By Request~Vivien Leigh Inspired Late 1930's Hair /Makeup
PLEASE EXPAND FOR MUSIC CREDITS ETC: By Request...thanks to all of you who continue to shoot those requests over. I will eventually try to tackle them all. The photo is (debateably) a head shot from 1938. It might or might not have been to promote a film...either way, it's Vivien at her glorious 'pre-Scarlet' best. No, I do not claim to look anything like this woman, but hopefully the look is close enough to suffice.

Drinking Song from Just Imagine (1930)
A musical number from the famous 1930 science-fiction comedy "Just Imagine." Comment: I'd known of "Just Imagine" for years through stills and historical references. When I finally found a VHS copy I wasn't prepared for how lame it was. The future city sets are about all that's worthwhile. The story is slow and wanders all over. Exteriors other than the city miniature are terrible. Few of the jokes are funny. This musical number is typical. Earlier the film established that in the future drinking alcohol had been replaced by taking intoxicating pills; yet here's a full-fledged Vienna-student drinking song (it even has a line in German!) Too bad...but still an interesting curio.
Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz, 1930
Fred Astaire - Puttin' On The Ritz (I.Berlin), Columbia 1930 NOTE: Although Irving Berlin's 1930 song was originally written for vaudevillian Harry Richman, it has become indelibly associated with Astaire, who also recorded it for Columbia in 1930. Sixteen years later he would record the song once more, performing it in the film Blue Skies. This song is an excellent example of the equivocal nature of popular culture during the Depression. While the lyrics speak of the "well-to-do" and seem to celebrate decadence, the lines "watch them spend their last two bits/puttin' on that Ritz" suggest the despair and nihilism of the era.
Oh By Jingo 1930's Song
This beautiful tribute to my dearly departed Dad is a pre-war classic & a hot favourite of him. He used to sing this with our Mum when ever we had a party or a sing song. They were 'Negombians' and were very musical, especially, my darling Mum who was a 'trained' singer and a hugely talented artist with a lovely voice. In reviving this old gem we also remember them both with fondest love. They will live in our hearts for ever.
Arden and Ohman - Strike Up The Band (1930)
Strike Up The Band Lyrics by Ira Gershwin Music by George Gershwin Victor Arden - Phil Ohman and their Orchestra Vocal refrain by Revelers Quartet Recorded January 31, 1930 Victor 22308 Victor Arden (1893 - 1962) was co-leader with Phil Ohman (1896 - 1954) of Arden-Ohman Orchestra in the 1920s and 1930s. Arden attended American Conservatory of Music. After World War One Arden went to New York and made piano rolls and teamed up with Phil Ohman to form a piano duo on records and Broadway musicals: "Lady Be Good" (1924) , "Tip Toes" and "Oh Kay" (1926), "Funny Face" (1927) and "Spring is Here" (1929). As piano duo they appeared on radio from the late 1920s to mid 1930s as guests and as regulars on American Album of Familiar Music, 1934-35 and Bayer Musical Review, 1935. They recorded with a large orchestra featuring good arrangements of show tunes. In the mid 1930s the duo split up, each leading his own orchestra. Arden turned to conducting studio orchestras on network radio into the 1940s. Phil Ohman began his career in the early 1920s as a pianist-organist. He was with Paul Whiteman (1922-23) before teaming with Arden. After the duo split, Ohman worked in Hollywood as movie writer and did radio work. He led his own band in the 1930s and 1940s and was active into the 1950s. He was also active as a composer and song writer.
"Office Blues" Ginger Rogers (1930)
A delightful one-reel Paramount musical short from 1930, "Office Blues" stars then-unknown Ginger Rogers as Miss Gravis, a perky young stenographer who has a big-league crush on her dark and handsome boss, Mr. Ross. The film features two obscure Duke/Harburg songs, "We Can't Get Along" and "Dear Sir." Playfully romantic, but with an ending that probably wouldn't have made it past Production Code censors just a few years later.

Cab Calloway - Minnie The Moocher 1930
3/31/30 Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 1930-1931 Classics 516. (Gaskill-Mills-Calloway) Cab's famous signature tune! The lyrics are based on those of the folk song, Willie the Weeper, and the melody was modeled on St. James Infirmary and Prohibition Blues. It is a call-and-response song which has more verses than Cab ever sings. Cab insisted that Minnie was not a real person. Cabell "Cab" Calloway III (December 25, 1907 -- November 18, 1994) was an American jazz singer and bandleader.
Mechanical Principles (1930) by Ralph Steiner [4min selection]
This is my favorite 4min selection of a larger work by Ralph Steiner. The original was silent, and the DVD had it set to classical music. I have swapped the audio for an electronica/industrial track by 3 Liquid Hz - Little Boy. Favorite movements: @ 1:16 - counter mechanism @ 2:55 - normal gears, but cut to engage on diagonals @ 3:37 - SQUARE GEARS! @ 3:41 - variable speed transfer @ 3:46 - rotary to linear action with a 4 tooth cog
Eddie Cantor- Keep Young And Beautiful
I have to admit, I kind of don't like this clip. I resent it on a few levels, but that makes a good point. It's all just a bunch of silliness, really. Don't hate this stuff, because it doesn't really mean a whole lot, know what I mean? Find delight in how nothing had to make sense in these sorts of movies. I really don't think they should be taken seriously- that takes the entertainment value away. And now some time has passed and I feel differently still. I've just become used to it. :P three cheers for EC.
Bob Wills - Steel Guitar Rag 1936
Bob Wills was born in Kosse, Texas in 1905. In 1929 he started the Wills Fiddle Boys in Ft. Worth, then came to the attention of perennial Texas Gubernatorial candidate Pappy Lee O'Daniel who ran the Light Crust Flour Mills in Saginaw, Texas just north of Ft. Worth. Wills lept to fame playing as the Light Crust Doughboys but after several years the band tired of the gig as they were also expected to load flour trucks during the day. In '34 the band moved to Tulsa to get away from Pappy Lee and formed the Texas Playboys. They invented western music with a jazz beat known as Western Swing. Some of his music was dead-on jazz while other songs were straight western-his genre was hard to pin down. On clear channel 50000 watt KVOO in Tulsa The Playboys broadcast from Cain's Ballroom on North Mainand they played it all. In 1968 Wills was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame as the King of Western Swing- and as Willie Nelson crooned-he's still the King. Wills died in Tulsa in 1975. Leon McAuliffe, his steel guitar player featured on this record, was born in Houston, Texas in 1917. He played with Bob Wills band until WWII and after the war formed his own group in Tulsa.
