[78-L] Music in Jean Harlow film

[Forsberg, Chris]

Mark,

Thank you so much -- I'd already scoured YouTube, of course, but hadn't thought to check any of the other video repositories that exist.
The URL you posted opens with "Frankie and Johnnie", which is another song in the movie -- I'm probably more interested in the danceband
song "Red Headed Woman" than Frankie and Johnnie, but, I would be interested to know who performs this version of it? Anybody know?
And, how hard is it to find the 78 of it, assuming it exists? (I'm gonna figure it does, since they show Harlow playing the 78 in the movie; although,
of course this could be faked).

Thanks again,

Chris

No one did -- but Stephen Davies and Harold Aherne did have some good suggestions....Stephen said that it was probably a generic "studio band" and anonymous singer, and that the MGM studio records would have the answers. Then, Harold offered that those records were at Univ South Carolina, and posted the URL (http://www.usc.edu/libraries/collections/performing_arts/), and I followed it, and emailed someone there. I got back an answer that all they could find was a table of sorts showing the 3 songs in the film, the title of the songs (which I already knew), and the composer/arranger (which I already knew). There was a column called "ORCH", with "Maxwell" written in for each of the three different songs. There was also columns for "TAKE NO.", "PERFO
