Bunny Berigan & His Orchestra - I Can't Get Started With You

Uploaded by: kspm01
Video Description:
At request, I'm uploading this unforgettable version of a well known standard. On this record, made for Victor on August 7, 1937, we hear Berigan in both the vocal and trumpet solos. Here are the lovely lyrics:
I can't get started
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
still I can't get started with you
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
still I can't get started with you
on the golf course, I'm under par
and Metro-Goldwyn's asked me to star
I've got a house, a show place
still I can't get no place with you
cause you're so supreme
lyrics I write of you
I dream, dream night and day of you
and I steam just for the sight of you
baby what good does it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D
and Greta Garbo had me to tea
still I'm broken hearted
cause I can't get started with you
in 1929 I sold short
in England I'm presented at court
but you've got me down hearted
cause I can't get started with you

Probably the best ... ( 2 months ago by DelMkVI)

Probably the best example of 'big band' recording ever. It has everything. Memorable tune, clever lyrics, perfect arrangement, classic vocal style, great soloists. This song never sounds cheesy and it's never been bettered. You'd give you right arm to get this band in a modern recording studio.

I cannot stop listening to this guy. Heard this tune and I kept trying to figure out why I liked it so much. A time capsule of the 30's

"... does the hair on the back of your neck stand h-up"... he surely does! Why? I guess because this rendition is so intense and passionate - a rendition that will still stand forever.

kspm01 - I inherited this album from my dad's collection, rest his soul, and I never tire of this masterpiece. For me, it's the definitive song of its era. The arrangement is flawless and the trumpet solo is in my opinion Bunny's best. If you can find it, check out Maynard Ferguson's rendition of "Maria" from West Side Story. Exceptional trumpet there too. Thanks for sharing.

P.S. - I'm referring to Maria from the New Vintage album.

Is this not the song that Louis stated he would not perform as long as Berigan was alive, as it was his song. His coronet playing was second to none. He and Bix will likve forever; however, let us hear it for Red Nichols, who is under appreciated.

Yes, I believe ... ( 2 weeks ago by kspm01)

Yes, I believe Armstrong didn't want to perform it as he considered it to be Bunny's song.

This is one song I never get tired of listening to, and Bunny was perfect for this number. If you would like to hear more of Bunny as a terrific sideman, try listening to some of the early 1930's Boswell Sisters songs. You can hear Joe Venuti as well on many early 1930's songs by the Boswells.

True; this is a masterpiece today exactly as it was 60 years ago.

I was only one year old when Bunny died in 1942 but I still love and appreciate this music from the Big Band Era. Harry James was probably the one who took over where Bunny left off and I do remember hearing him on the radio while I was growing up. Thank you for keeping this wonderful music alive.

So welcome! ( 2 days ago by kspm01)
