Sonny South & His Collegians-I Couldn't Tell Them What To Do

This appears to be a pseudonym for Dick Robertson & His Orchestra. Dick Robertson was one of the busiest band and studio singers from the late '20s through the early '40s, as well as a composer. He recorded under a lot of pseudonyms and worked with Eubie Blake, Duke Ellington, The Mills Blue Rhythm Band, Benny Goodman, Andy Kirk and many others. Robertson also cut a variety of sides as a leader, organizing ensembles dubbed the Dick Robertson Orchestra with the type of studio musicians who kept as busy as he did during this era. This great record was made in 1933. Robertson himself performed the chorus.
