The tune “After You’ve Gone” was composed by Turner Layton, with lyrics written by Henry Creamer, and was first recorded by Marion Harris in 1918. The song was also used as the theme song for the BBC sitcom 'After You’ve Gone'.
Benjamin David Goodman was born May 30, 1909 in Chicago, Illinois. He was an American clarinetist and bandleader known as the "King of Swing". Goodman's bands started the careers of many jazz musicians. During an era of racial segregation, he led one of the first integrated jazz groups, his quartet and quintet. He performed nearly to the end of his life while exploring an interest in classical music. He died in New York City on June 13, 1986 at the age of 77.
Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 rotations per minute as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s. As these 78 rpm recordings are quite old, they may contain derogatory language and/or negative stereotypes. It is important to evaluate such recordings within their historical context and consider them as a reflection of the attitudes prevalent at the time. These recordings form an integral part of the historical record and do not represent the views of this poster, channel, or Bowness Arts.
