Guy Lombardo - I'm Still Caring (1929)

I'm Still Caring
Words and Music by Rudy Vallee and John Klenner
Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians
Vocal Refrain by Lebert Lombardo
Recorded March 21, 1929
Columbia 1782-D
Here is another version of this song written by Rudy Vallee and John Kenner. This time the vocalist is Lebert Lombardo who sounds amazingly like his brother, Carmen, the usual vocalist for the Royal Canadians.
The core of the Royal Canadians consisted of the four Lombardo brothers:
Guy Lombardo (bandleader, violinist) (1902-1977)
Carmen Lombardo (saxophone, flute, vocal, composer) (1903-1971)
Lebert Lombardo (trumpet, drums, vocal) (1905-1993)
Victor Lombardo (clarinet, saxophone) (1911-1994)
The rest of the band consisted of:
Jim Dillon (trombone)
Larry Owen (clarinet, alto saxophone, vocal)
Fred Higman (tenor saxophone)
Fred Kreitzer (piano)
Francis Henry (guitar, banjo)
Bernard Davis (tuba)
George Gowans (drums)

The early recordings of Guy Lombardo (late 1920s and very early 1930s) are the best IMO. So danceable!

After all these years I am still caring about Guy and his music,it cannot be beat.

The sax sound is the main reason I have always been a Lombardo fan and always will be.

Oh, gosh- this is one sweet song, and one sweet band. This is the first I've heard Lebert sing, and he does a good job. But I have to say that my favourite Lombardo's are from the 20's and 30's with Carmen as vocalist. I had my photo taken with Guy and Carmen as an 18 year old (on a date) in 1966 and Fred Kreitzer was still with them- almost 40 years after this recording. Thanks for posting this great old tune- always a pleasure listening to The Royal Canadians.

Wonderful slow fox trot.

@bsgs98 What a great memory- and thanks so much- I've been trying to find that for some time- another classic Lombardo from the '30's. Do you ever listen to Jan Garber or George Olsen? And another great band from that era is Gus Arnheim, and the vid from the Cocanut Grove Hotel in L.A., with all the movie stars from the '30's is just marvellous. There were just so many great bands here- in the U.K. as well. Thanks for posting- you're helping to keep this great music alive. -Bill

Except for the 4/4/ and the Tuba Guy sounded much the same some 30 years later. Nicely done.......He always played for those who loved to dance.....
