After 14 years only 9 likes and no comments there's no accounting for taste I think it's most splendid

Any help with the lyrics? Yeah, when I was young and a-runnin' around I could get a date with any girl in town I was a tall-[?] mean, fast talkin Mighty [?] But-a things have changed in a-later years A little bit slow, shiftin' gears Old age, rough treatment's takin' it's toll When I first grew up, I was the cock of the walk Makin' every joint in town On the wilder side of life Always slippin' around I was a speed demon daddy with [?] style Zips gone out of my automatic drive Old age, rough treatment's slowin' me down With the chicks in town, I used to strut a-my stuff Picked 'em young and I treated 'em rough I been slippin', in a-later years I've found I'm not the cat I used to be But I know exactly what's wrong with me Old age, rough treatment's slowin' me down When I first grew up, I was the cock of the walk Makin' every joint in town On the wilder side of life Always slippin' around I was a speed demon daddy with [?] style Zips gone out of my automatic drive Old age, rough treatment's slowin' me down

What are the chances of hearing this song this song from two different sources within a couple of hours of each other? It happened to me ten years ago on a trip to visit a friend. I played an oldie cd with Op on it. An hour and a half after I arrived at my destination, my friend was playing some used 45’s that he had recently picked up. “Op” was one of them. I rushed into the room and exclaimed that I had just played that same song just a few hours earlier! Probably one of the most remarkable coincidences that have occurred in my life.

A side please

Such a tortured yet highly talented soul he was.

Here because Sarie Marais was inspired by this song!

Oscar's acerbic wit(fueled by his monster of a father) carried him through everything even if he had to claw his way up from his mental health abyss. If you want a incredible bio about him - A Talent For Genius: The Life and Times of Oscar Levant - I highly recommend it.

Excellent instro ! 👍🙂

Thats my state!

I played 1st trumpet in my high schools dance band and we played a greatly simplified version of this piece as a finale in our concerts and competitions. It was a difficult piece and we rarely did any justice to it.

Real realistic when Der fuhrer face features German music and inspired old time music.

Thank you so much for posting this! Never gets old! I was listening to it on Warner Bro's channel & they only posted 5 minutes of the song. :(

Great song played on American Bandstand in February 1967.

The definitive reading of Rhapsody in Blue. It is this one and no other.

Bravo!!!!! Is he BEST FOR ALL GERSHWIN....INCOMPARABLE

Bravo ❤

Brilliant!

Take a look at the MOVIE called Rhapsody in Blue.

Victory belongs solely to the South! Forward Dixie-Land!

i love this song because its so dumb its good i loved how my father sang it

Lyrics 🙏

That is simply unmatched in my experience. I can’t decide at some points if this simply the definitive interpretation or an attempt at deconstruction of Gershwin. Regardless, it’s breathtaking.

Critics of that day panned this song. The song is still beloved, and those critics have long since been forgotten.

Here’s my two cents as a piano teacher. Oscar, do you have a train to catch? Too fast tempo, imo. Even Paul Whitemam had to argue with Gershwin over the tempo. Gershwin plays it like the meter is running in an expensive taxi. Whiteman greatly slowed down the piece. When this amazing composition is slowed about 10 to 20 bpm, you can hear all of Gershwin’s amazing fills. Also, there are few dramatic pauses missing - short silences before a climax. Premature climax lol. It’s,easy to understand why Oscar played at breakneck speed. He copied Gershwin’s tempi. But Whiteman was correct, imo, when he told Gershwin he was going to play it at a speed the audience would appreciate. I appreciate Oscar’s virtuosity, but it leaves me emotionally dry.

Love this ❤❤ Amazing

I wish WNDZ was still like this. Starting in the fall of 2007, most of their day became filled with Spanish religion (which was dropped during COVID). WNDZ was heavily Eastern European before that. Two shows (on Saturday) are the only remnants of the old-WNDZ. I think there's some shows like that on Sunday too.

Heard this on a local a radio station took a month to find it. Play at 1.25 sounds better.

Unfortunately these stations along the New York Thruway no longer exist!

Thanks for the memories.

to give an idea of how old this lullaby is, most of the babies around when this was released died of old age back in the 80s

1948 kids will remember

I bought this years ago on cassette

Cool!

Szlachta w 1831 roku

Overwhelmed by the smell of rotten eggs when pooping is proof you have demons in your colon!

I remember this station and this announcement. Still have my QSL!

At United, we're connecting people, uniting the world and doing it safely. From all of us, thank you and enjoy your flight!

This recording was also released as a 78rpm multi-disc record album. Oscar was a musical genius, taught by composer Arnold Schoenberg. When Oscar travelled to Hollywood, Oscar became friend with George Gershwin himself, and became a masterful interpreter of Gershwin's works. Oscar was also a composer and wrote the hit song "Blame It on My Youth. Unfortunately Oscar was a chain smoker, suffering from neuroses that led to hospitalization and was considered a hypochondriac. In his later years Oscar appeared on a lot of tv talk shows.

I was just reading a book called Asperger’s and Self-Esteem by Norm Ledgin who talks about Oscar as an example of a person with Asperger Syndrome. This recording blows me away!

I never knew that Gene would have done a flirtation song with swimming and petting and robbing a cradle in it. That may have been Roy Smeck on octo-chorda.

tRUMP Is shooting that bird at him self. He's the modern day Hitler after what he did to our Capitol!!!!! Piece of Fukin shit!!!!!

What’s an op?

Wow, havent heard this in ages. I recorded it on a FM radio station in Detroit back in the late 80s. "Old and Gold" played this funky old shit on sunday nights for 2 hours . Still have the cassette and it sounds good but this 45 sounds better. I dig it

I had this back in the day...wow this brings back memories..

🥺

In loving memory of Mr. Rufus Lovejoy Quillian (1900-1946 R.I.P.) & his brother Benjamin (1907-1985 both R.I.P. // gone but not forgotten).

This sounds like it was rushed to fit onto a 78 rpm record.

Fuck yeah , the Captain !
