Free Music Notes for Whoopee! [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]
Free Music Review: Eddie Cantor front and center
Hit: 5 Stars
Eddie Cantor enjoyed great success as an entertainer during the first half of the twentieth century; his songs are still well known amongst music aficionados to this day. This CD gives us a generous 24 tracks by Eddie Cantor with over 73 minutes playing time--great!
The track set begins with a classic--and humorous--Eddie Cantor number entitled "Makin' Whoopee." It sounds like it was remastered from a 78rpm record; but Eddie's diction is so good you won't miss a word! The musical arrangement bolsters "Makin' Whoopee," too. Great! "A Girl Friend Of A Boy Friend Of Mine" follows; Eddie sings this with panache and great sensitivity. The musical arrangement makes good use of the strings as Eddie sings this flawlessly. "In The Moonlight" gives Eddie a chance to sing about meeting his sweetheart under the romantic moonlight. Eddie handles all the notes gracefully as he compares his love to the great loves in history; but of course we know that it really wasn't all that easy to sing "In The Moonlight." Eddie Cantor's gift produced great numbers like these.
"Build A Little Home" starts with Eddie speaking a few words; when he starts to sing with the accordion this number really takes flight! "Build A Little Home" sports that 1920s/1930s flavor to it and Eddie delivers this without a superfluous note! The musical arrangement during the middle of "Build A Little Home" works wonders to bolster this number; and the chorus harmonizes perfectly, too!
"Put A Tax On Love" from the movie Kid Millions showcases Eddie's vocals as he sings a funny song about a love tax to raise money for the American government during the Great Depression. Eddie sings this with passion and he never misses a beat. "When My Ship Comes In" is a relentlessly upbeat, optimistic number that many people could relate to when they were not exactly wealthy. "Swing Is Here To Sway" features Eddie with The Peters Sisters and a great chorus to strengthen this number. Eddie handles the tempo changes like a pro--very impressive! "Swing Is Here To Sway" comes from the soundtrack of the movie entitled Thank Your Lucky Stars; and this explains the tap dancing sounds and the length of this number. Indeed, several of the tracks on this CD come from movie soundtracks--great!
"Dinah" lets Eddie sing a popular song of the time; Eddie performs this number with George Murphy, Joan Davis and Constance Moore. They handle the tempo changes smoothly and the musical arrangement lacks nothing. Awesome! The final track, "If You Knew Susie (Like I Know Susie)," an electric number, becomes even more energized when Eddie infuses this with all his might. Excellent!
The liner notes come with an informative essay about Eddie Cantor's career and life by Geoff Milne; and you get the song credits, too. The artwork impresses me.
In sum, Eddie Cantor was a giant in the entertainment industry and he will always be remembered fondly. I highly recommend this CD for Eddie Cantor fans and fans of early musical numbers and vaudeville. Get this CD and enjoy it--you won't be disappointed!
Whoopee! [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] Poster
In his day, during the first half of the Twentieth Century, Eddie Cantor was a huge star of stage and film, a true rival to Al Jolson. His big break came with Ziegfeld s Frolics in 1916, followed by the famous Follies in later years. This new JASMINE compilation is culled from his Hollywood films between 1930 and 1947, and includes his most famous song Makin Whoopee . 24 tracks, a generous 73 plus minutes. If you're a newborn Eddie Cantor aficionado and wish to get a good sampling of his music, I would highly recommend starting right here. "Whoopee" gives you a few of the hits Cantor is best known for ("Makin' Whoopee," "Mandy," "If You Knew Susie"), as well as a good dose of quality tunes that didn't make past compilation rounds that often. This is by no means a complete collection if you like Eddie Cantor, but I do consider this CD an essential.This is an awesome dose of Eddie Cantor!Broadway & Vocalists Music CDs
