Sounds a little like Al Bernard to me.

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

the band/singer featured in the nightclub sequence in a 1932 Jean Harlow
film, "Red Headed Woman" and if the song (probably of the same name) existed
on 78. 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."
