AllenLowe Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) just as a footnote - the Dorsey recording of Drop Me Line, a ballad with vocal, contains the opening phrase that is uncannily similar to the intro to Round Midniight and also matches the line "than you would realizze" in Dameron's "If You Could See Me Now" - Edited April 24, 2007 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmilovan Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Hey Allen, what is approx. recording date of "Drop Me Line"? Oh, somewhat kind of addition to this can be the fact that Thelonious Monk often recorded "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You"...

AllenLowe Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I believe it's 1942, but would have to check - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Allen -- On what album can "Drop Me A Line" be found? Haven't been able to track it down myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Drop Me A Line was recorded for Decca on December 3, 1941. Don't know of a reissue beyond one of those crappy Ajaz lps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Larry, I don't know of a reissue version - I have a copyof the 78, which I originally transferred for the reissue that never happened - I'm just setting up my studio again, so if I can find the 78 and if I get ambitious, maybe I can transfer it - it's also possible I have it on a CDR somewhere - will look around and get back to you - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcello Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Some Marcello trivia: My ex-wife's great - grandfather, Joseph LaCalle, wrote "Amapola". Some of his children lived off his royalties for all of their lives. "A popular recorded version was made later by the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra with vocalists Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly; this was released by Decca Records and arrived on the Billboard charts on March 14, 1941, where it stayed for 14 weeks and reached #1.
