Aige Old Radio: Day Nine



Check out the "ninth" episode of "Aige Old Radio" (recorded live on October 27, 2013). It is entitled "Cozy Kinda Night (Part II)".





1. According to Vanita Smythe's biography on IMDb, "Until I Fell for You" was recorded in 1950. This recording is actually a pitch higher than the original, it seems.



2. The legendary Ivie Anderson recorded "My Old Flame" with the Duke Ellington Orchestra on May 9, 1934. [Source]



3. Lena Horne recorded this heartfelt rendition of "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" for the 1946 MGM musical, Till the Clouds Roll By. [Source]

8. According to the Internet Archive, Hazel Scott's "Emaline" was released in 1948. I am unable to find the song's recording date.
