Barbara Stanwyck, (vocals: Martha Tilton), Gene Krupa & His Orchestra. Drum Boogie

[@patrickryan1515]

"Ball of Fire", another brilliant pairing of Stanwyck and Cooper --their chemistry was something else. And this nightclub scene where Cooper finds her is one for the books. Stanwyck could interact with the best of the best as she does here with not only Krupa but the entire band. Martha Tilton's voices suits Stanwyck's persona to a "T". 4/2019

[@founboy78]

This was Rock and roll before rock and roll

[@adeladevere2013]

I wish someone would bring back classy nite clubs like this again. :)

[@jackanthony976]

It is a nonprofitable endeavor.

[@rayszymarek2920]

Here is the prime reason why so many fans went to Gene Krupa in a big way. He had that showmanship and above all he surrounded himself with all good players in that Gene Krupa Big Band. The song here Drum Boogie was played a zillion times by many bands small groups. Many imitated this. but Gene Krupa had that Style that Showmanship that made everyone realized that the drummer was a precious man. Put the drums up front. Thank you Gene.

[@MOGGS1942]

Ms Stanwyck was something special.

[@christianlorre]

Gene Krupa is so awesome, he can even make you forget about Barbara Stanwyck being so hot.

[@kystars]

People want to talk about Buddy Rich etc, but Gene Krupa had the beat, and wow look at him here, so fast and accurate on the drums. my favorite drummer of all time.

[@magovenor]

It amazed me how much the singers voice actually sounded like Ms. Stanwyck's!

[@hebneh]

One of my all-time favorite scenes - the nightclub set with the underwater motifs, the costumes, the orchestra, the fantastic song itself! As Barbara says at the end of the first performance - "Yeah!"

[@MaryAnneRosato]

Gene Krupa, wild man.

[@Fufel008i]

Mary Anne Fontana Rosato It's a monster! -)

[@caseystutzman568]

So many things that make this bad a**!! Love it!

[@Fufel008i]

Thank you! my dear, and I love! :))

[@D.N..]

Be honest Girls,.. which one of us wouldn't just love to go to a nite club like this, dress up and have our guys in a tie and jacket?

[@denismay6011]

cvista I Sadly Mate the age of style and elegance is gone.. One of the best bands of the Swing Era thanks to Krupa The King of the Skins 100% and Roy Elderidge on Trumpet.. Gee I hope I I spelled Roy's last name correct, a great player.

[@robsgirl6465]

Not so, Denis May, not so. I play rhythm guitar in a swing band and every show is like a time machine to the elegance and grace of the 1930s and 40s. The jazz age still exists... IF you know where to look.

[@D.N..]

12-string Jack I would love to hear your band play and dance the night away !!

[@EvieDoesYouTube]

There are still places like that, smaller perhaps and very expensive but they exist. Ronnie Scott's in London, for example.

[@CriticalListener]

Martha Tilton and Barbara Stanwyck looked something alike, so pairing Tilton's voice to Stanwyck's looks was a natural. I especially liked the little bit at the end, where Krupa's playing the matchbox!

[@terezacristinameirafaria6733]

Sensacional! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 5 estrelas!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟que espetáculo fenomenal! Uaaauuu! 👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹❤

[@smscamp3016]

Krupa was one of the major reasons why the Benny Goodman band was one of the hottest swinging "Killer Diller" bands around and brought swing its popularity, in fact, many of heavy metal's greatest drummers and bands that rocked hard did so because the drummers heard all of their parents swing records like this

[@clarecostello5236]

legendary!

[@bumperu]

Spot on sm scamp. My dad had the 1938 live Benny Goodman concert at Carnegie Hall. I became a drummer in the 60s and played rock, but the Krupa killer beat stayed with me forever.

[@jamescoffeeoffense6803]

That was just... beautiful.

[@TheGooner01]

Greatest drummer of all

[@friendlyflow]

Magnificent song. That bass is hot and the vocals also. Ok, ok, Barbara is also very nice.

[@dloberk]

Gene Krupa was Keith Moon's favorite drummer.

[@duffmason734]

The dark haired woman on Gary Cooper's left is a knockout!

[@Fufel008i]

О, да! Она так эротично пьет шампанское в фильме "Балалайка" 1939 года! :)

[@shanef8728]

yeah I def would have given her one!

[@chandrabalisattir3233]

Barbara is smoking HOT and with attitude. x

[@jimvild8357]

Gene Krupa The Elvis Presley of the drums!

[@beau_de_jour]

[@kerrycombo1761]

Agree

[@Goddammevil]

More like: Elvis Presley, the Gene Krupa of singing.

[@michaelbauers8800]

Fantastic vocals and charismatic performance. Stanwyck is one of my fave actresses ever. But whoever did the vocals gets my praise too ( Tilton according to title?)

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

It's a wonder Krupa didn't bore a HOLE through those drums! lol

[@floraposteschild4184]

0:49 The actress on the left screen (anyone know her name?) was also in The Lady Eve -- she's the one who was choking down Pike's Pale Ale, looked at Henry Fonda, and hiccuped.

[@kaduisaui8016]

Great movie!

[@rickydesjean7184]

Scene from a Great movie: Ball of Fire.

[@michaeloram6957]

This afternoon Barbara Stanwyck with a wonderful woman beautiful you did a lot of great songs The Great actors to miss her have lotto recordings on a 78 don't know what happened this music showed you my age music today's States Wish I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time but that's impossible everyone have a nice day

[@HenryHeriorh]

Классно!!! Просто супер! Спасибо! А еще мне вспомнился фильм "Свингеры", с которым я даже работала тут (ролик "Нет войне!"), возникли ассоциации. Так что еще раз огромная благодарность!

[@NYC1927]

Never knew that was Martha singing!!!!

[@smscamp3016]

Thanks for posting this, the only thing would have been nice would not have cut the part as I think only about a minute passes before the end of the first drum boogie, and the second DB, good for continuation.I know the Black Trumpet player is "Little Jazz" Roy Eldridge, one of the hottest trumpet players of all time, the other soloist is not bad either

[@theministersal702]

yea early wipeout...he sure can rock....

[@scattygirl1]

The girl at 3:40 in the striped top is the same girl who was in another of Barbara Stanwyck's films- The Lady Eve. She's one of the passengers on the ship that tries catching Henry Fonda's attention in the dining room near the start of the film.

[@Fufel008i]

+phoebephoebo .sydney Ага, завлекает книжного червя! :) А мужик слева на 3:40- Борис Новиков. :)))

[@scattygirl1]

+Fufel008i Извините, но это не имеет никакого смысла для меня даже после перевода :-)

[@angelatate7393]

probably a Paramount contract player

[@scattygirl1]

Good old Boris!

[@johnguilfoil8738]

i always thought Gene swung harder than Buddy

[@MrNikoshp]

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

I wanna see Emma Stone belt this out in a follow-up to La La Land! Bring this classic back.

[@gregoryagogo]

3:20 Cutting off Gene Krupa's head in his climactic moment, not what the original cinematographer had in mind.

[@sourstomacc8596]

I wish you could wear a suit into public places without people looking at you strange

[@robsgirl6465]

WoodenTreeMan : Just do it then. Who cares what looks people give you. If enough people start to wear fashionable again, that elegance with come back into style. Don't be a follower, be a trend setter!

[@jackanthony976]

Who cares if people look at you strange. It is amazing how many people are still into the "group think" mode. Wear whatever you damn please.

[@scottleft3672]

id have been a bigger fan of hers had i not grown up watching....bonanza....lol.

[@dennismazza4233]

I wonder if during or after the filming of "Ball of Fire", did Barbara Stanwyck and Gene Krupa get together and do a "private drum boogie" of their own ?

[@helenwilliams9183]

I bloody would have

[@sourstomacc8596]

Unlike living back then

[@theministersal702]

early wipeout at the begining.....lol

[@shanef8728]

her miming leaves a lot to be desired, still an excellent piece of jazz music..

[@halloranedward]

whats this from ?

[@patkelly5609]

Ball of Fire (1941) Martha Tilton actually sang the song and Barbara Stanwyck lip-synced it.

[@larkpraise]

The vocal dubbing didn't quite work because Martha Tilton's voice is so different than Stanwyck's. But Stanwyck is smoking' it in that costume! Can you imagine that probably everyone in this scene is dead.....

[@michaelbauers8800]

I thought it was pretty good. I didn't even think about it, when I first saw the movie. And while I am not a musician, I am a pretty big fan of music, and make my own music. So I am not totally oblivious. But I can see how it could create cognitive dissonance in someone with a better ear.

[@jackanthony976]

I surprised that they dubbed Barbara's voice as Barbara spent many years singing and dancing as a showgirl either on the vaudeville circuit or on Broadway.

[@GirlandBird]

That's not Martha Tilton ... that's Stanwyck ... and her unmistakable accent ....

[@MooseCall]

Sam Katz Martha Tilton is singing.

[@SE-so3rk]
