Our Halloween countdown left off with a song written by Will Hudson and now Day 5 picks up with the popular "Mr. Ghost Goes to Town" from 1936, which is another Will Hudson song!
In the interim, Hudson entered into a bandleading partnership with lyricist Eddie DeLange in what was billed as the Hudson-DeLange orchestra. Will and Eddie had previously collaborated on some songs, including the great standard "Moonglow" in 1933.
Here's the band's recording of "Mr. Ghost Goes to Town" on the Brunswick label:
It was probably inevitable that the clashing personalities of the co-leaders would result in a split, but they left some great records that we can still enjoy!
