Smith Ballew & His Orchestra - Take The Ache From My Heart

  • 14 years ago
I had already finished this video when I realized I have another version of this by Ferdinando's band. I decided to leave it, since Ballew's version is excellent. Smith Ballew was an excellent singer who worked with the most diverse jazz and dance bands (Ben Pollack, the Dorsey Brothers...); when the Depression struck very harshly, he could no longer perform as a member of other bands, and founded several bands under his own name, before returning to the Dorsey Orchestra and a little later joning the Glenn Miller Orchestra. This record was made in 1935. Ballew himself interpreted the vocal refrain.
