Heartaches - Chester Leighton & His Sophomores (1931)

A recording of "Heartaches" that is very, very similar to the more popular version sung by Al Bowlly, the version that The Caretaker sampled. I can't find much about this specific recording, so this may be the only online upload of it as far as I know.
Here is the flip side: • Ever Since Time Began ...
Lyrics:
Heartaches
Heartaches
My loving you meant only
Heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me
I can't believe it's just a burning
Memory
Heartaches
Heartaches
What does it matter how my heart
Breaks
I should be happy
With someone new
But my heart aches
For you

[@HobbesandCalvinFan]

Given the sheer number of "Heartaches" covers, it is interesting to see how many different takes there are on the song, even if some are similar. I feel like this version is slightly more similar to the original track than the Al Bowlly cover, so it's like it's a transition state towards the Al Bowlly/Ray Noble cover.

[@BlackPatti78s]

Ray Noble was not the Orchestra Conductor on Al Bowllys Recording, but actually Sid Phillips, another famous British conductor, who's son is a successful drummer who has played with bands such as Toto, strange isn't it?

[@TheOldenMemories]

The Al Bowlly one was used for It's Just A Burning Memory

I can't believe it's just a burning memory

[@fromthesidelines]

Sam Lanin's "Famous Players and Singers", under an alias. Recorded on January 26, 1931. Also released on Harmony 1279-H and Velvet Tone 2309-V. Vocal chorus by Paul Small (as "Chester Leighton").

[@themac6356]

Absolutely fantastic information! Strange how so many well known bands went under such weird pseudonyms.

[@fromthesidelines]

You're welcome! Ben Selvin probablty holds the record- literally- for recording under *many* pesudonyms for virtually every major label.

[@JasminosMicinos]

Didn't expect it to be Sam Lanin. Thank you 👍👏

[@sodality3970]

My mom's favorite song , but by Ted Weems in 1942 . This version is great also .

[@edwardgunyo3638]

Thank you for song. Great melody. Teddy Weems was a great guy. And was his band. Wish I could still see him again. Best to all that love's his music. I still do.!!!

[@TF2SlyGuySaysHi]

[@brentg3707]

to the memory jim chapman died oct 6 2022 love brentster

[@stevespartanalt5354]

this would be a strong candidate for being on eateot or fan albums but at the same time an alternative version of Al bowly's heartaches but it's really really good

[@Shadowiann_]

yea this version is pretty cool

[@TheOldenMemories]

Yeah,I used it for the eateot fan album thing

[@TheOldenMemories]

And I'm using it again.....

[@stanley_427]

Can't believe I didn't see this for so long! Thanks for uploading!

[@BlackPatti78s]

Newly found version of this song!

[@themac6356]

Haha! Precisely why I uploaded it!

[@karenronan4825]

What a great 1920s song (oops 1931)

[@BlackPatti78s]

Chester Leighton is almost definitely not a real person and not a real orchestra director, the name has been used by various band leaders during the early 20s on various Columbia Dimestore Labels, like Velvet Tone, Harmony and Clarion, some band leaders that have used the name Chester Leighton are Ben Selvin, Fred Rich, Sam Lanin and a couble others. Sam Lanin being the specific conductor of this recording date.

[@paulomattozo6682]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@JasminosMicinos]

Amazing music for an amazing start. 👏 Looking forward for other tunes if you plan to upload more. Cheers 👍❤️

[@themac6356]

There will definitely be more coming. Just have to record and upload.

[@waltergray7722]

Beautiful !!! Thank you for sharing this great post.

[@themac6356]

Glad you enjoyed it, since I find it to be a very beautiful song as well.

[@midwesternretail]

The vocals are Dick Robertson. Chester Leighton seems to be a pseudonym. He has recorded another version alongside this.
