Hal Kemp and his Orchestra – The Night Is Filled With Music(1938)

recorded in NYC July 7, 1938
This was one of the songs that Irving Berlin wrote for the Astaire-Rogers film “Carefree,” but it was heard only instrumentally in the score.

Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra – All Through The Night(Old Welsh Air)(1938 78 version)
vocal: Three Esquires and Edythe Wright
英古謡をスイング化。

arranged by Paul Weston
recorded in NYC May 12, 1938
Not the Cole Porter hit from “Anything Goes,” but the traditional 19th Century Welsh tune.
As for this posted version, the DAHR and Johnson-Shirley disagree on which’take’ was the one used for the Victor 78; and J&S states that the commonly available track from “The Complete Bluebird” LP series was an alternate. Rather than bothering to do an A/B comparison check, I just went here with the guaranteed-correct 78 release version.

Among their hits were “Far Away Places” “Candy” “It’s Love Love Love” “High On A Windy Hill” “My Sister And I” “So You’re The One” “Love Somebody” “It All Comes Back To Me Now” “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens” and “So Long For Awhile” (the closing theme for Your Hit Parade.).
