1930 Fred Rich (as ‘Chester Leighton’) - Baby’s Birthday Party (Smith Ballew, vocal)




It’s another delightful treatment of the Ann Ronell tune. “Chester Leighton” was one of the various pseudonyms utilized by Rich and other bandleaders for their multi-label releases under the Columbia umbrella. Here are the Shilkret https://youtu.be/PzOCJW4LF7M and Lombardo https://youtu.be/qvJyCcHxG7U versions of the song.

From 78rpm Clarion 5126-C (also issued on several other labels) - Baby’s Birthday Party (Ronell) by Chester Leighton And His Sophomores (Fred Rich), vocal by Chester Leighton (Smith Ballew), recorded in NYC November 19, 1930
