"Robins and Roses" (1936)

It’s Knapp Time! 

We heard Orville Knapp and his Orchestra with “Accent on Youth” a few days ago, which puts me in the mood for more! 

So, here’s Orville Knapp with “Robins and Roses,” his biggest hit, featuring Leighton Noble on the vocal for Brunswick Records:

 

Singer Leighton Noble led the band for a bit after Orville’s untimely death but was replaced by veteran bandleader George Olsen. 

I know Leighton best for his role as the romantic lead in the Abbott & Costello movie “It Ain’t Hay” from 1943!
