Music Monday with Cole Porter Anything Goes

I've never heard some of these verses. I also need to google several of the people referenced. Who new they were have nudist parties in Hollywood in the 30's???

Music Monday with Armstrong and Fitzgerald: Baby It's Cold Outside

Here's a little Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstong singing Baby It's Cold Outside. Perfect for the holidays and one of my childhood favorites.

Music Monday with Tommy Dorsey Ochi Tchornya

So The other night I was watching My Man Godfrey and noticed one of the characters was playing Ochi Tchornya. I remembered the song from Idiot's Delight with Norma Shearer and Clark Gable. Then some of the people I was tweeting about it with remembered it from the music box in Shop Around the Corner. I know we are uber classic film geeks.
We started wondering if all these 1930's film used the song because it was a hit of the time. I still don't really know, but one of my fellow classic film fiends @TheRedan3553 ,on twitter, found this Tommy Dorsey recording on Youtube.

Enjoy! I love the clarinet solo.

Music Monday with Billie Holiday

Here's a little Monday music for you. I love my Billie Hoilday, this clip has God Bless The Child, and Now Baby or Never. I have a particular soft spot for God Bless the Child, my father use to reference it a lot. Probably around allowance time.

Anyway, enjoy these classic tunes. I'll try to post something musical every Monday.
Oh and by the way she is singing with the Count Basie band, who are amazing too, of course.
