Okay, here's an idle question about popular singing:  We know that by the
early '30s, the "intimate" Crosby/Columbo/Vallée style had all but
supplanted the
"generic" style of Billy Murray/Irving Kaufman/Arthur Fields.  What and When
were the last or latest song(s) on record, featuring an unapologetically
"generic" vocal?
 
I guess that by 1933 they were totally extinct.   What say y'all?
