I have a twenty three page discography of Buddy CLARK
from 1934-1949 compiled awhile back containing the
Brunswick, Columbia, Okeh, Meloton, Perfect, Varsity,
Vocalion and Victor sessions

If anyone is interested I can e-mail it as an attachment.
burlinson at orange.fr

 I also have a 35 page discography of Kay KYSER on Brunswick
& Columbia; again the same remarks apply - just ask!

>> Buddy Clark's record of "Linda" with the Ray Noble Orch has always been a
>> great fave of my mine.
>>
>> In addition to his big-selling sides for Columbia in the 40s,? I really
>> enjoy his vocals with the Goodman Orch in 1934-35...esp. the Victor of 
>> "I'm
>> Livin' In a Great Big Way."
>>
>> I think he has a small role in some 40s movie musical...it might be Seven
>> Days' Leave.

>> I really must disagree with your judgment that "the less said the better"

>> As we know Buddy was one of the biggest post war singing stars. His 
>> record
>> of "Baby It's Cold Outside" was a huge shlager.
>> He made hundreds of very good pre WW II sides and I am pleased to have

>> The only reason he wasn't tapped for movie work was that he was anything

>> He just didn't look it.

>> are
>> ? ?chopped up Carnation Contented Hours? meant for the AFRS, at least in
>> ? part.? It?s too long before even I was born (!) in 1952 to understand
>> ? some of these things.
>>
>> ? Though there was a rare instrumental/orchestral
>> ? track or an occasional vocal guest, most shows were strictly Buddy 
>> Clark
>> with
>> ? backings by Percy Faith.
>>
>> Please contact me if anyone has any leads or interest in this.
