Frances LANGFORDSo Many Memories
Miss Langford’s first visit to a recording studio
was in the summer of 1931 when she cut two tests for the VICTOR company -
neither have ever surfaced. With a few obscure waxings during the intervening
period and coinciding with her debut on the silver screen, she settled down to
regular sessions in July 1935 when she made four sides for the BRUNSWICK
company, including "Speaking Confidentially", originally performed by the trio
in "Every Night At Eight" After her first session for Kapp in November 1935 she
recorded over one hundred titles before the AFM recording ban in 1942. She did
make some more for another company when the ban was over. In 1939, radio editors
picked her as the ‘All-American Girl’. A favourite with the G.I.s during the
war, as noted earlier, she was picked by the civilian population on the East
Coast as ‘Queen Of The Campus City College Of New York’. In 1952 she sang for
American servicemen in Korea.
