- The studio orchestra recordings issued by Columbia under the “Radiolites” banner were conducted by various artists, but as this was recorded at the same session as an Ipana Troubadours/Scrappy Lambert track, it is assumed to have been directed by Sam Lanin. On the flip side is the Gerald Marks recording of “If I Can’t Have You” ( • 1928 Gerald Marks - I... ).
From 78rpm Columbia 1432-D - Sweet Lorraine (Cliff Burwell-Mitchell Parish) by The Radiolites, vocal by Scrappy Lambert, recorded in NYC May 18, 1928 .

Scrappy Lambert is one of the ( few ) male singers from this period whom I really like. He's a tenor, but he's NOT one of those overly ''fruity'' kind, all too common at this time, who had exaggerated diction and corny mannerisms that make for uncomfortable listening. I'll listen to anything with a vocal by Scrappy Lambert, as I've never heard him sing a vocal that is not enjoyable. Here, he is handicapped by a tempo which is rather too fast to let him sing tenderly, but otherwise, this is a very musicianly performance not only from Scrappy, but also the Lanin ensemble.
Jaunty and engaging
Super excellent
GREAT Record! Columbia Viva Tonal Records are just AWESOME! OH! I LOVE THIS FROM 1:44 on! Truly GREAT!
ALWAYS DROP-DEAD CHARMING
Hey, who's the Biz-like cornet soloist who pops in for six bars after the vocal? Loved that little solo!
While I realize, as a dedicated student of pop music of the '20s through 40s, that the purpose of the records of this late 20s Jazz Age period was to get the dancers out on the floor, I think tempi such as what we encounter here are utterly ridiculous on songs of this type. Poor Scrappy practically trips over himself trying to get through Parish's wordy lines and the overly brisk pace, though perhaps reflective of the happy feeling in the song's first words, "I just found joy ...", has nothing whatever to do with the overall mood of this paean to the sweet Lorraine. Maybe this one does the job if all you want to do is get out on the floor and mindlessly move the limbs but, let's face it, Nat Cole's interpretation has much greater meaning and resonance.
I tend to agree. Pure dance-band recordings of the late 20s and early 30s have a bouncy sameness that often grates.
Jazz ballad playing really had not developed at this point. (There are examples from Bix by then as well as a Someday Sweetheart by King Oliver) Tge band may not have had the vocabulary to tackle this.
That said, the record doesn’t really work.
@@alonzochurch3194 Agree on all points.
Very deep analysis. This pop tune inspired Jimmy Noone, who adopted this as his theme & made the 1928 Apex Club live recordings on 38 th & Prairie( featuring Earl Hines )
@@charlesannis41763 Yes, Noone's distinctive treatment is one of the greatest.
Just heard Frank Ifield ruining it
