Tal Henry: Now we just heard "Come On, Baby!" The next number will be "Shame On You".
Featured review
An enthusiastic performance by Tal Henry and his band
I recently acquired a mega set of the Vitaphone Calvade of Comedy - a set of beautifully restored sound shorts. I typically do not recognize the orchestras and that's the case with Tal Henry and his North Carolinians. Nor did I know any of the musical numbers (for example, Come on Baby and Shame on You) they played. Henry was very well known at the time with an active career that lasted over two decades. His orchestra plays with great enthusiasm and the last number is quite the toe tapper. Nonetheless, the short was only of mild interest albeit important to the history of American popular music. At 11 minutes, it is watchable but the band's style isn't sufficiently riveting to warrant spending more time than that watching them perform. It just wasn't visually interesting enough. And for me, it wasn't that riveting to listen to either.
