Description
As a new song hit by DeSylva, Brown & Henderson, “The Birth Of The Blues” was incorporated in the “George White’s Scandals of 1926” stage revue and was also treated to this popular recorded arrangement which was cleverly interspersed with several melodic quotations from Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue.” At least one CD Whiteman compilation has included an alternate take rather than this posted Victor 78 version.
Transferred from the original 78rpm: Victor 20138 - The Birth Of The Blues (DeSylva-Brown-Henderson) by Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra, vocals by Jack Fulton, Charles Gaylord & Austin Young, recorded in NYC August 12, 1926
