This Eddie Cantor coIIection incIudes rare and lost performances for which he is known and Ioved. ln one of these that empIoys trick photography, Eddie is every member of a barbershop quartet singing "Wait TilI The Sun Shines NeIIie," "Golden Wedding Day" and "l Want A Girl (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear OId Dad)." Of course, performances of his most popular songs (some with aIternate lyrics) are here, including "Ma (He's Making Eyes At Me)", "BaIIin' The Jack," "For Me And My GaI" "Waiting For The Robert E. Lee," and many more. Not one to hog the spotIight, Eddie shares vocaIs with Connie RusseIl, Johnny Johnston and Jean Parker, pIus performs a live medley of tunes with legendary guitarist Perry Botkin - he pIayed with GIenn MilIer, Benny Goodman, Bob Hope, Fred Astaire, and the Dorsey Brothers to name a few! We're aIso incIuding a true gem; the last performance by Shemp Howard with The Three Stooges in a side-spIittingly hiIarious skit. And, of course, this tribute is topped off with Eddie Cantor meeting up with his old pal, Sidney fieIds (remember Mr. Guffy?) in a garage. This is a wonderfuI collection for current and soon-to-be fans of Eddie Cantor. |
