[78-L] Morey Amsterdam was Apollo

[David Lennick]

RCA LK 1000 is the Guys and Dolls LP (Al Goodman, probably). Morey did "Sue Me" 
as Loesser originally wrote the song, before turning it into a duet because Sam 
Levene couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

There's also the one on Marsh, "Funny You Should Ask".

Looks as if there are quite a few MGM sides, including unissued ones. All with 
Milton DeLugg's Orchestra.

December 28/53:
53-S-619-11	I Wish I Was a Peanut Stand
53-S-621-6	Somebody Bad Stole de Wedding Bell
	both on MGM (E) 734, MGM-SP 1086
53-S-620 is an unissued Joel Grey side!
53-S-622 is unissued "Crying Polka" with Ray Charles Singers..sounds like an 
Amsterdam tune, doesn't it? Especially since it was redone on the next session.

February 10/54:
54-S-86-5	Mood Hollywood (unissued) (take 7 same, instrumental, unissued)
54-S-87-7	The Little Blue Coupe (unissued)
54-S-89-4	Hullabaloo Kalfer Dofer (MGM 11723)

54-S-88	- Crying Polka (MGM 11710) vocal by Happy Francey Lane & The Ray 
Charles Singers, no Morey listed

March 22/54:
54-S-141-5	Oh That'll Be Joyful (MGM 11723) with Happy Francey Lane
	(The Four Lads also recorded this)
54-S-142-5	Zone 5 (unissued)
54-S-143-3	Roller Coaster (unissued)
	last two may be instrumentals, as Milton DeLugg's Orchestra

Did he ever record "Nothing"? Pearl Bailey did..can't remember if there's a 
version by Morey. For that matter, did he ever record Rum & Coca Cola?
