>Colonna's recording career began on Edison in the 20's as a sideman with Joe Herlihy's band, but his own features are mostly to be found on OTR recordings, especially Kraft Music Hall and Bob Hope shows, and various AFRS shows. One pre-war title with Colonna, though AFAIK never issued as a 78, that absolutely should be reissued on cd, is "The Girlfriend Of The Whirling Dervish" from the film "Gardens of the Moon". (It was issued on a soundtrack lp in the 1970's). In addition to Colonna's fantastic Calloway-esque vocals, it also features John Payne and Johnny "Scat" Davis with Joe Venuti, in a great arrangement and witty lyrics that reference every wrinkle in the swing craze of that year (1938). The titles below look like material from one of Colonna's several postwar lp's (perhaps the Design lp).
