Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

On this evenings show we’ll fulfill some requests and I believe we’ll play some songs about believing.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Believing
“This I Believe” is a new National Public Radio show I’ve started listening to that is based on the radio show from the 1950s. To commemorate both old and new versions, I believe I’ll play some songs about believing.

Make Believe – Ben Bernie and his Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra / Scrappy Lambert, v.
Do You Believe? – Billy Hayes AHO

Snuggled On Your Shoulder – The Savoy Hotel Orpheans / Al Bowley, v.
Life Is Just A Bowl of Cherries – The Roy Fox Band / Al Bowley, v.

Segment 3: The Original
Rob and Sherry requested something by Helen Kane, the original Boop-Oop A Doop girl, close your eyes and see if you can hear which is the real Helen Kane.

The Broken Record – Mae Questel
I Owe You – Helen Kane
