What years were Eddie cantor songs recorded?

Answer 1

Eddie Cantor made his first recording in 1917 on the Victor label. From there, he recorded more or less copcnsistently for ten years for Emerson, Columbia, Aeolian-Vocalion and back to Victor. In the 1930's, his recorded outputed slowed, but he did some fine work on Columbia and later Decca. There was also his one-side foray into the "Hit of the Week" label. In the 1940's, Cantor recorded a spate of his old songs for Decca, a kiddie album for Musicraft, a few sides for upstart label Pan American and finished the decade on RCA's Bluebird label with a half-dozen sides. In 1947, he also did one of those "top Ten" comedy albums for Monitor Appliances. In the 1950's, Cantor recorded the soundtrack album for his life story, issued by Capitol, another kiddie record for Capitol and a somewhat modernized version of his old hits, in 1957, on RCA's short-lived Vik album. His final venture into the recording studio was in 1960, when he recorded a recreation of his one-man show (it was originally done in the early 50's), which was a collection of anecdotes and songs. The final album is an interesting historical record, but, unfortunately, old Banjo Eyes' infirmities are far too obvious to make the album enjoyable. Since then, the actual soundtrack of the original one-man show, recorded in 3/50 at Carnegie Hall, has come on the market through Original Cast records.
