"Tangerine" is a popular song. The music was written by Victor Schertzinger, the lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The song was published in 1941 and soon became a jazz standard.
This version is from the movie "The Fleet's In" (1942). The recording was released in January 1942 by Decca Records as catalog number 4123. The record first reached the Billboard charts on April 10, 1942, and lasted 15 weeks on the chart, including six weeks at #1. The lyrics in this version differ slightly from those in the movie. On the record, Eberly sings "And I've seen toasts to Tangerine / Raised in every bar across the Argentine," the lyric that became standard. In the movie at that point, the line is "And I've seen times when Tangerine / Had the bourgeoisie believing she were queen."

@@michelleleeschaeffer3482 His name was Bill Holford. He was a sound engineer who started one of the first recording studios in Texas. He recorded a huge number of the early greats of rock & roll (Little Richard!), classic country (Willie Nelson!), classic gospel (Sensational Nightingales!), 1940s-60s blues (Lightnin’ Hopkins, Big Mama Thornton, Sonny Boy Williamson!), and so many others, including Bob Newhart’s legendary first comedy album. I spent a lot of time with him in the studio (ACA Recording Studios in Houston) in the 70s and 80s, after its prime, but still going strong. He did a little producing (with B.B. King, for one) but mostly stuck to engineering recordings. He also designed and built recording studios for some early labels like Duke/Peacock and Trumpet. I’m so proud of him! He came from Dust-Bowl-era Oklahoma, was a WW2 pilot & navigator, and worked harder than anyone else I’ve ever met, except maybe my Grandma who helped run the studio along with her own career in music. They used to take me to hear big bands in Houston, after they found out I loved that kind of music, which I first discovered on the radio. I have some ACA playlists on my channel if you’re interested! I’d love to hear stories about your grandfather! 💕

@@holyspacemonkey one thing I could tell you about my grandfathers when he was home and he was with family. It wasn’t about his career. It was about his family and about his community and his church. Some of my favorite memories with my grandpa was just walking his dog Highly. he had a very distinct way of making you feel like you were the only person in the world when he spoke with you and he really listened to you when you talked and really made you feel incredibly special. I remember he would talk to everybody when we would walk through the town, it didn’t matter what walk of life. And he always loved to bless people, but he was very covert about it. He would shake their hand and have money in his hand and he would bless the woman pushing the cart or give extra money to the cabby. It seemed like the whole town knew him and felt very comfortable approaching him. I remember being in a cab with him once it was at night. We were all going somewhere and he was teaching me how to sing and how to control my voice. I was about eight years old and I never forgot it. Apparently, I was singing through my nose at eight years old lol. Most of his family lived in Hoosick Falls, New York. Those are some of my favorite memories running through the cornfields and eating a plethora of corn. He had 12 brothers and sisters and many of them were alive of course when I was a young girl. everyone was very much Hollywood in his family even if they weren’t lol. But everybody was very family oriented on my grandfather side of the family. Another favorite memory of mine was going to the Friendly’s restaurant with my grandfather. He would always take me there, and I would always order the same thing a cheeseburger on toast with butter. He was always very funny and he loved to make his grandkids laugh. One time me and my brothers were on the bus with him and he pretended that he was lost and he didn’t know where we were going and we always knew he was joking, but this time he was having to work a little bit harder and he convinced me and my brothers that it was up to us to get us home and I started crying and then he grabbed me and sat me on his lap to hug me and said he’s just kidding, and we all had a laugh while we had tears on her face. he was a real stickler. I just remember him being very patient very loving extremely funny and he had a way of teaching you a lesson by either example or he would talk in a away where you didn’t think he was correcting you specifically, but just talking about a subject like: it’s easy to see the bad in somebody, but it’s important to look for the good in a person even if it’s just one thing and just focus on that. Or when you do something that’s really hard and you don’t wanna do it regardless what it is he says once you get started it’s fun. I really wish he stuck around longer! dying at 64 years old was way too young. And one other story when I was 13 years old I had some friends and they had long rock n roll hair. I was in a band actually at 13 years old. And I brought two of them home and we were in the living room hanging out, and my mom announced that my grandfather was at the door. And I was terrified. I thought that my grandfather would look down on my choice of friends and that I really screwed up. Well, he came in and my grandfather had an uncanny way of reading the room and knowing what you were thinking and feeling without a word being spoken. My grandfather immediately sat down on the couch and started talking to the two boys and within five minutes he had them laughing and feeling so comfortable and welcomed. It’s the little things like that. I’ll never forget.

About 1968 or so (I was about 10), Helen O'Connell was singing in a Country Club with a small Orchestra, a Combo, small band, small venue. My parents were there to enjoy a big-name celebrity singer and to dance. My Mom related to me, that when Helen O'Connell appeared to sing, and during her singing, waiters in formal outfits and holding trays of the meals to be served, and trying to be inconsequential, ducking down, whispering--being respectful to the patrons and Helen O'Connell, but Mrs. O'Connell, suddenly stopped, yelled at the Orchestra to stop! She berated the waiters serving food in tuxes, who were trying to be respectful, but O'Connell was very rude, calling them out, and that was alarming really to my folks, who were there to see a former Big Band singer, and I don't recall anything more but this, like if O'Connell cussed them out, or what. Anyway, this video is a beautiful restoration, with great vocals and Orchestra!

Saw Jimmy Dorsey in Ardmore, Oklahoma in 1980s. I had a hard time keeping from dancing in the aisle. What a nice concert, everybody else sat on their hands, I guess everybody was afraid of what folks would think of them.
