Performer: Rudy Vallée
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: Personnel: Rudy Vall�e (vocals). Before Frank Sinatra, even before Bing Crosby,there was Rudy Vallee. In the 1920's, Vallee was *the* crooner, a singer whose nasal yet charming, slightly whimsical vocal style took pre-Depression America by storm. Later in the 20th century, Vallee became established as a character actor in movies, but EVERYBODY represents his beginnings as a vocal icon. By today's standards, many of these songs might seem quaint and sentimental, but put yourself back in time, make believe the past half-century or so never happened, and let Vallee take you to that over-the-rainbow America.
Rudy Vallee was the first of the American 20th-century crooners. Long before Sinatra came along, New Englander Vallee was making women swoon with his singing style. He first came to fame in the late 1920s, splitting time between his music career and a burgeoning film career. By the '30s, Vallee had become a bona fide pop idol, with popular songs and hit films. As late as the '60s, when even Vallee's successors had long gone out of fashion, he was still enjoying popularity on screen, and he continued in show business until his death in 1986.
