slholzer 27th Sep 2015		Review These two songs from "Show Boat' show Thelma Carpenter off somewhat better than her debut Majestic record (#1023) did. They are more even from the engineering point of view, and Earl Sheldon's orchestra provides the accompaniment on both. The dramatic subtext of "Show Boat' would seem to be Carpenter's meat. She reaches for and largely achieves a Billie Holiday sound on "Bill". She lets it go in the more aggressive environment of "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and returns to her more typical dramatic-emotive style. It ought to have worked out fairly well, but belting was apparently not in her playbook on this day, and the last bars are disappointingly anti-climactic as the band builds through a surprisingly fiery trumpet solo and a stirring arrangement to a big finale in which she seems unwilling or ill-prepared to join. It doesn't say much for the A&R man on the session that he left the nominal star of his recording at the mercy of such a huge disconnect with her backing and wouldn't or couldn't work around it to savean otherwise promising record. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

fixbutte 20th Jan 2015		Actually Thelma Carpenter's previous single was Majestic 1023, advertised in Billboard of Dec 15, 1945, p. 28. Majestic 1017 was out rather in Oct 1945, see Billboard of Oct 27, 1945, p. 26.



fixbutte 20th Jan 2015		Notes added to this record, slholzer's comments included. Other than originally entered, this record was recorded, not released in Nov 1945. It was most probably released in Jan 1946, at the same time as Majestic's reissue of their huge hit with The Three Suns, "Twilight Time", on cat# 1027 which was announced in the Billboard issue of Jan 12, 1946, p. 30 (previously on HIT/Majestic 7092). Thelma Carpenter's previous single on Majestic 1017, "My Guy's Come Back" b/w "These Foolish Things", came out around Nov 1945, see Billboard of Nov 10, 1945, p. 31.



slholzer 17th Jan 2015		The orchestra on both sides is directed by Earl Sheldon. The mx on Bill is T595. On Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man it is T597.
