I mentioned that Smith Ballew was a prolific session singer, which is probably an understatement!
He was so prolific, in fact, that he sometimes recorded different versions of the same song for different labels under different names!
As a case in point, here's another version of "I Love You So Much" (from 1930's "The Cuckoos") recorded under his own name on the Okeh label:
Totally different from the California Ramblers version and it's nice to hear the verse!
In addition to being an excellent singer, Smith Ballew was also tall, dark and handsome, so it's no wonder he started making movies!
