Honey, I'm in Love With You
Words and Music By William B. Friedlander and Con Conrad
Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra
Recorded May 5, 1925
Victor 19671
The song, "Honey I'm in Love with You" was featured in the musical comedy Mercenary Mary which ran at the Longacre Theatre between 4/13/2025 and 8/8/2024 for 136 performances. Winnie Baldwin played the role of Mary. On October 7, 1925 it opened at the Hippodrome in London where it was very well received. In 1926, it toured Sydney and Melbourne Australia. It received rave reviews for the comedy, dancing and costumes but little mention was made of Friedlander and Conrad's music which has been mostly forgotten today.
The Paul Whiteman recording sessions of May 5-7, 1925 were historic for producing eight records using the new electric process developed by Western Electric. It had been more than four months since the previous Whiteman recording session in December of 1924 using the old acoustic recording process. For Victor Records, the full transition from acoustic to electric was gradual over several months. The first Victor commercial electric recording was produced on February 26, 1925, a novelty number, "A Miniature Concert by The Eight Popular Victor Artists". The first major artists to record using the new process were Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians (4/2/1925), The Benson Orchestra of Chicago (4/21/1925), and Jan Garber (5/5/1925). By the end of 1925 nearly all of the major Victor artists were recording electrically.
