Customer Reviews of Gay Caballero
Wonderful There's nothing like a bit of old fashioned musichall to get the party jumping. And what could be better than this compilation of Frank Crumit's timeless tunes? All the favourites are there for a good old family sing-along. There's The Gay Caballero of course, as well as A Bum-Bandit's Ballad and Look at that Swish Flounce!
Some fun from old-time radio
Naxos has begun a most welcome new series called "Nostalgia Naxos," the first two of which entries I have heard and love! Both have great similarities and both exhibit the triumph of style over vocal ability.
Although this is the webpage for Crumit, I have to mention the companion piece by way of comparison.
<"Sing As We Go": Gracie Fields, Vol. 1> (8.120503) gives us 18 examples of the English musical hall/film star who was idolized by millions, mostly in her own country. Recorded between 1932 to 1940, these selections are perfect examples of not only English Musical Hall fare but the inimitable way in which Fields "put over" such crowd-pleasers as "She Fought Like a Tiger for 'Er Honour," " I Took My Harp to a Party," "Will You Love Me When I'm Mutton," and the one heard in the film "The Dresser", "A Nice Cup of Tea." Her enthusiasm is infectious, her delivery delightful, and this Naxos offering a winner.
<"A Gay Caballero": Frank Crumit> (8.120502) features a personality much known and loved on old-time radio. His songs are the American equivalents of those Fields popularized--most written by Crumit himself ("A Gay Caballero," "I Married the Bootlegger's Daughter") or with partners ("Donald the Dub," "The Song of the Prune") some traditional ("Bohunkus"), some by other composers ("I'm a Specialist," "Plink! Plunk!"). Readers of this page can see the complete table of contents above.
His style is more laid back than is Fields' and offers an interesting contrast. I think I have caught quite a few pre-echoes of Cole Porter, especially his "Tale of the Oyster." By the way, his extremely funny monologue "No News" comes from the same source as the popular French song "Tout va tres bien." In fact, that cut alone is worth the low price of this CD. But by all means, purchase this ... .
