"Alone" (1935) - Part 2!

Allan Jones didn’t get the chance to record “Alone” commercially when “A Night at the Opera” was first released, but he did record it for RCA Victor in 1949. 

Here it is on the fancy Red Seal label with Robert Armbruster conducting the orchestra:

 

Sounds great! 

I always found it interesting that although Zeppo left the act when the Marx Brothers moved from Paramount to MGM, their moves still had a Zeppo-ish character in them, with Allan Jones filling that role in “A Night at the Opera” and 1937’s “A Day at the Races.” 

Back in the day, you could say that Allan Jones was the father of singer Jack Jones and that Jack Jones was the singer of “The Love Boat” theme and everybody knew what you were talking about!
