Скачать или смотреть Palmer Brothers - Don't take it fast

United States Record Corporation master US-1069-1, rec. New York, autumn 1939.
Clarence, Arnie, and Dick Palmer (vocals and own instruments)
This trio of brothers was born and raised in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. They started as an instrumental group, but soon polished their singing to a point when it becam an attraction in its own right. On records they are mostly heard as refrain singers with various orchestras. They first recorded with Earl Hines, later moved on to Billy Kyle, and for quite some time toured with Cab Calloway as "The Cabaliers", sometimes augmented by a fourth singer. This recording here is one of four solo titles they cut for Eli Oberstein's (then) brand new Varsity label which, as usual with Oberstein enterprises, was a rather dubious affair. The pressing is lousy, and I had to cut quite a few frequencies away to make it bearable - this must have been hissy and crackly even on a wind-up phonograph. Nice song, though! Arnie and Dick quitted the music business in the late 1940s, but Clarence Palmer continued, first singing with the Sparrows and later founding the Jive Bombers, who had a big hit with "Bad Boy" in 1957.
