Yale Collegians with Rudy Vallee 1927 

One year later, still playing the song for my friends. Rudy never get's old ...... just better. High ho....

Wonderful, I play it in my 1927 house, think about the old days!!! High hoh, love the music. Thank you so much.

It's good to see some actual footage of a 1920s jazz band.

In case someone's missed it the top hat and clarinet part is a pure reference to the extremely popular bandleader Ted Lewis.

Rudy's doing it all: singing, saxaphone and hot clarinet solo.The sax and clarinet solos sounded like jazz from the late 40s early 50s.

he's totally crazy--he's really incredible musician. he probably slept with his sax under his pillow-- the musicality just flows out of him. he probably sang in his sleep.

Priceless....Love Rudy's smile at 1:16...good time music.

For what it's worth, that's Harry Patent on bass...my grandfather. 🙂

Its nice to see the way they live, and it can be felt through their music,

He's a musical tour de force....multiple instrumentalist.....raconteur.....he's sort of like a East Coast preppy version...of a 'whatever genre you want' act....I love the STEP of this tune...it PUMPS UP!!!!

Times CHANGE. . .they were changing OLD TIMES of the day!!

I've seen the entire short that this was excerpted from. The title is "Radio Rhythm." It begins with a woman turning on the radio and Valley and the Connecticut Yankees appearing on top of the radio. That background is the radio speaker. I've only seen it once, over 40 years ago, but I seem to remember in another number the Vallee is slightly off center in the shot, and the camera awkwardly jerks so that Vallee is back in the center of the frame. I wish the whole film was online.

True, and besides that awkward camera movement, it's really the only part of the film that I remembered for 40 years. It is a great look at early talkies, though. I love all of the musical shorts just as a look back at what people were listening to at the dawn of the Great Depression.

I love that imitation of Ted Lewis with the old high hat ♥️

That is very entertaining and delightful, thank you.

GO RUDY AND THE BOY'S!!

Great!!!

Man there all dressed so nicely.

As the lead saxophonist and clarinetist of the Yale Collegians under the direction of Lester Laden, Vallee also sang in the trio Laden assembled for the recording of this song for the Edison company on a Diamond Disc recording. Vallee is not mentioned on the label but his unmistakable voice is heard clearly in the trio: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HKA89anqHFY.html

Amazing! Thanks for uploading!

Thanks - this is the only "hot" bit of the film.

It's more upbeat than tracks released 20 yeas later.

What silly shite--I love it.

1. this is real showmanship. 2. "that's all there is - - there isn't anymore" - - sounds like oliver hardy. what film is it from?

This is before the Connecticut Yankees.
