Eddie Cantor - All The Hits And More 1917-47 (2024)

Eddie Cantor was one of the most prominent entertainers of the early era of commercial recording, a comedian, singer actor, dancer and later a philanthropist, who was ubiquitous in Broadway shows as well as being one of the first real radio stars and went on to have a long career in movies, both as actor, writer and producer. His New York Times obituary in 1964 said that “Pop‐eyed, peppy, exuberant Mr. Cantor was one of the most successful vaudeville comedians who ever lived.” He was indelibly associated with the style of classic vaudeville songs which came to for the fore in the 1920s and were early entries in the Great American Songbook. This 53-track 2-CD collection features selected releases on the Victor, Pathe, Emerson, Columbia, Melotone, Decca and RCA labels, plus radio and movie performances of songs associated with him that he did not record commercially. It features all his 24 hits, including the No. 1s “Margie”, “No, No, Nora” and “If You Knew Susie”, and other classics like “Makin’ Whoopee”, “The Old Piano Roll Blues”, “Row Row, Rosie”, “My Baby Just Cares For Me”, “Merrily We Roll Along” and many more. This selective overview of his recording career offers an enjoyable showcase for his unique style of entertainment which was very much of its era.
