Soundies Program
I am cataloging a collection of about 500 digitally mastered and restored Soundies we recently acquired. You probably know that while the originals had reversed titles (which we have digitally reversed so that they are readable), many of the titles were cut off when they were re-released by Official Films, Blackhawk, and Castle. I can generally figure out what the song was but a few have me stumped. The first one I'll submit: This is a particularly elaborate production, in which a tuxedoed male crooner sings to a bevy of elaborately-clothed chorus girls who parade around him as a big band plays offstage. There are numerous phrases which should have been the title of the song – “You’re So Beautiful,” “Beautiful Lady,” “Open Your Heart,” “When Do We Start,” “What Can I Do,” “I’m In Love With You,” “The Moon is High,” and “The Night Is Yours” but none of them are listed. Cannot otherwise identify. Any ideas?
