"I'll String Along with You" (1934)

We jump back to 1934 with this song from the Warner Brothers pictures “20 Million Sweethearts” starring Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers.
Dick and Ginger make a very charming couple and I dig the radio studio setting of most of the movie.
It seems like Dick sings “I’ll String Along with You” about a dozen times in the movie, but it’s a great song from the prolific team of Al Dubin & Harry Warren.
Ted Fio Rito appeared with his band in the movie, and he had a big hit with this studio recording on Brunswick Records featuring vocalist Muzzy Marcellino:
Such a great mid-1930s sound!
