1933 Rudy Vallee - Shanghai Lil
From the Rick Colom Collection: Posting this and the Ben Bernie version of a tune from the delightful Warner Brothers film classic “Footlight Parade,” which sparkles with the energetic leads of Cagney and Blondell supported by Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, the songs of Dubin-Warren and Fain-Kahal, plus some of Busby Berkeley’s most extravagant production numbers. The “Shanghai Lil” sequence features vocals by Cagney & the cast and includes a bar-top tap dance by Cagney & Keeler.
78rpm Bluebird B-5172 - Shanghai Lil (Dubin-Warren) by Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees, vocal by Rudy Vallee, recorded in NYC September 6, 1933
