Two folky tunes from Burl Ives start us off. A jolly orchestrated(Percy Faith) version of Oh! Dear! She's wonderful beautiful and the more pared down Bonnie Wee Lassie. Ives spent the 1930s travelling the USA as an Itinerant musician and developed his singing career via the radio. He was also a well known actor, his most famous acting role was probably as Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Old favourites Carroll Gibbons, Len Fillis Roberto Murolo, Archie Lewis, Ted Heath, Bob and Alf Pearson and Harry Roy return. Edna Kaye does vocals for Gibbons. A new Italian singer joins us though, Carlo Butti.  We have Miss Lee Wiley, whose jazz singing career was at its peak from the 1930s to 50s. She had a short tempestuous marriage to Jess Stacy, the jazz pianist. Great voice. Big Bill Campbell was a Canadian born purveyor of Cowboy music here in Britain- I'm Rocking to the Rockies is jolly and cheesy. Nowt wrong with that. Ted Wallace and his Campus boys provide some lovely 30s music and vocals. Wallace was Wallace T Kirkeby, manager of the highly prolific Californian Ramblers. Must play them again. Penultimate record is Jimmie Rodgers, Blue Yodel from 1927. So bluesy, great lyrics. Just to prove we like a good mix of music on Forgotten Songs we go out with The Jacques String Orchestra and Berinice by Handel.  How Highfalutin is that!

Como siempre que hay luna llena en fin de semana, dedicamos el programa a canciones sobre la luna. Empezamos con Eileen Farell y su extraordinaria versión de "Fly me to the moon", grabada hace justo medio siglo. Una de las más afectuosas canciones sobre la luna es "Moonlight cocktail" ("Cóctel a la luz de la luna"), que grabó en 1941 la orquesta de Glenn Miller con el cantante Ray Eberle y el grupo vocal The Modernaires. La cantante Lee Wiley grabó en 1945 su versión de "It's only a paper moon" ("Es sólo una luna de papel"), que había compuesto doce años antes Harold Arlen. En Voces con swing ya hemos puesto varias versiones de la canción italiana "Luna rossa". Esta vez la escuchamos cantada en inglés por Frank Sinatra, en un disco grabado en 1952 con el título de "Blushing moon" ("Luna ruborizada"). En 1945 Francisco Roviralta grabó un elegante fox titulado "Noche luminosa". Cuatro años más tarde, Antonio Machín grabó "Anoche hablé con la luna", del cubano Orlando de la Rosa. Al año siguiente Luis Mariano grabó otra canción cubana, pero cantada en francés, "Luna lunera". Y en 1955 Lolita Garrido grabó el fox de Agustín Lara "Luna, luna, luna". El director de cine Jesús Franco compuso en 1961 la canción que daba título a la película Luna de verano, que grabó en disco Juan Riquelme, acompañado al piano por el compositor. "Llanto de luna" es un gran bolero del cubano Julio Gutiérrez. Lo escuchamos en la poderosa voz de Elena Burke. Otro bolero, pero de estilo español, es "La luna enamorá", que escuchamos a ritmo de cha-cha-chá por el conjunto de Rudy Ventura. Terminamos con la irrespetuosa pero simpática versión de "Blue moon" que grabó el conjunto vocal The Marcels en el año 1960.Escuchar audio

Her husky, surprisingly sensual voice and exquisitely cool readings of pop standards distinguished her singing, but Lee Wiley earns notice as one of the best early jazz singers by recognizing the superiority of American popular song and organizing a set of songs around a common composer or theme -- later popularized as the songbook or concept LP. She was also a songwriter in her own right, and one of the few white vocalists with more respect in the jazz community than the popular one. Even more tragic then, that while dozens of inferior vocalists recorded LPs during the late '50s and '60s, Wiley appeared on record just once between 1957 and her death in 1975.

Bud shares his knowledge and expansive music collection to uncover the life and music of Lee Wiley. Lee Wiley (October 9, 1908 – December 11, 1975) was an American jazz singer during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Wiley was born in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. At fifteen, she left home to pursue a singing career, singing on New York City radio stations. Her career was interrupted by a fall while horseback riding. She suffered temporary blindness but recovered. At the age of 19 she was a member of the Leo Reisman Orchestra, with whom in 1931 she recorded three songs: "Take It from Me", "Time On My Hands", and her composition "Got the South in My Soul".
