Little Sir Echo

Jiminy Cricket · Unread post by **Jiminy Cricket** » 13 Jan 2012, 18:41

Doris sang Little Sir Echo with the Barney Rapp Orchestra in 1939 in the "Signs of the Drum". I know that many people only know a few seconds of one the very first recordings of her. I heard in the 'Blondes on Blondes' a fragment and the lady says: 'sadly, that's all there is'. But I was watching "What A Difference A Day Made", that Bryan posted here in the forum, and around the minute 58:40, we hear the Rapp band playing and then, the very young Doris starts to sing the first part and the rest. Unfortunately, a man starts to talk over the recording, so we can't hear everything.

I edited the recording, putting the fragments from the 'Blondes on Blondes' and from the documentary together, trying to avoid any talking from both. I couldn't ignore the end, with the man talking. I couldn't find the part, clean, in any other place, but this was the best I could do. It's still a short recording, but I really hope we still can find the 'clean' and complete recording! We at least know that exists somewhere. Now, the big question is, 'where'?

Here's the recording:

The complete recording does exist. The Doris Day Definitive Discography gives the details of the recording, but basically it is contained in an album produced by Joyce Records (Joyce LP 1058). The LP is difficult to find, but is available once in a while through Ebay and record dealers who advertise on the internet. The Joyce product is a 30 minute broadcast originally done on 17 July 1939 as a live broadcast. Miss Day sang two songs that evening--"I'm Happy About The Whole Thing" and "Little Sir Echo. So happy hunting and Happy Days, Texas Gonzalo.

Thank you so much for these information, Texas. I really appreciate them! Now, I'd love to put my hand in that LP. Someone really should release in a new format (CD, Digital download), but I really can't see that happening.

Lauren you are great, thank you

Yes, every great artist had to start somewhere. Every great artist was once at the beginning of his artistic career, before he began to relate a great success. But as Lauren said, let's enjoy this

Lauren from which the years are those recordings from the late thirties?

Thank you for the compliment, but I've been uploading things to this forum since 2004. It's Bryan who is great for providing this forum for fans all around the world.

I believe I read where these songs were recorded in July of 1939 at the Sign of the Drum in Cincinnati, Ohio, when Doris was just a teenager.

Thank you so much, Lauren! I can't thank you enough... you are really great!

Sometime it doesn't sound like a 16-years-old girl at all, but sometime she sounds like a little girl. Even in her prime, she had this 'little girl' charm in her voice! What an incredible and beautiful talent she had! Incredible!

Hi Ania,
thanks for your good will. When it comes to Doris, we all like to share what we got of her music. So, if you need anything, just let me know. My collection is pretty large, I did share many stuff with a lot of fans here. I know, whom I will post these songs to. He is very busy, but is always willing to share his germs with us.
