Leo Reisman & His Orchestra - What Is This Thing Called Love? download song

What makes this brilliant is Bubber Miley on trumpet and the mysterious vocals. When he toured with Reisman they made Miley, the only black man in the band, wear an ushers uniform or play hidden behind a screen.

Great, great beginning to what I would call a torch song. Good dance music. Tks

You have GREAT TASTE in music! I just love this rendition! Now I feel like dancing!

What is this thing called Love? is the song being sung by the canary in My Canary has circles under his eyes.

Thanks:   MY Brain enjoyed this.

IMO this version sounds a lot like Chloe Song of the Swamp.

1:29 Bubber Miley steals this lick from East St. Louis Toodle-oo (which he co-wrote with Ellington)

A wonderful rendition.  So haunting and  "real".  Thank you.
