Comments and Reviews

BillFour 22nd Dec 2021		I have have all three, but sadly the album disintegrated and the cover missing. On the the first sleeve is a handwritten note "Regards to Frida and Al. Two of our best friends. Have fun with these records. Frank Carroll and Johnny Gorman". It's written in single handwriting and no idea if authentic. Also, my copy of this first record is 15083 instead of 25083. The other two records are 25084 and 25085.
LaurenceD SUBS 30th Aug 2017		Thank you for that, KS. Information on the web about those early King album releases is kind of scarce, so anything we can get is appreciated.
Kay Sera 29th Aug 2017		These two sides, "Little Hotel" and "Canasta" were indeed released as an album of 10" 78s under the title "Two Knights in a Nightclub (possibly 'Knightclub')". My father doubtless saw them perform on a business trip to Florida in the late 40s or early 50s and brought home the album as a show souvenir. Of course, my Dad also saw a great deal of vaudeville in New York in the early 20th century. We played those records over and over- the ethnic humor being typical of the era, the songs were extremely clever and well written and performed. That album will doubtless show up when I clear out my attic this winter. Other titles I remember: "Far Rockaway", "The Bassetts Overhead" (boardinghouse humor), "Los Angeles", and the referenced "First Time in Miami". Seems like sooner or later everything shows up on the internet!
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Sep 2013		Frank Carroll and Johnny Gorman were a vaudeville duo who date back to the early 1920s. This is one of three sequential King releases { 25083, 25084, 25085 } by Carroll and Gorman, which were likely released as an album. Billboard (Feb 24, 1951) mentions a C&G album on King, cat number unknown.
