"Turn On The Heat"

by Lloyd Keating and his Music

This hit from late 1929 (written by Buddy DeSylva, Ray Henderson and Lew Brown) was recorded dozens of times by as many orchestras - this version, recorded for VelvetTone in November of that year, is unique. The band is obscure, but the vocalist is songwriter and part-time crooner Sammy Fain. (co-wrote "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" and "Secret Love" - more details about him can be found at "nfo.net".) This disc was played with a worn needle in its day, and gets crackly toward the end, but it's not too noisy to enjoy.
