Description
Born in New York City as Alice Lefferts, Alice Faye (1915-1998) was discovered and mentored by Rudy Vallee who featured her on the radio and on a few Bluebird records in 1933. She eventually became a top Hollywood star (mostly for Twentieth Century Fox) untl her retirement in 1945 when she quit to devote her time to her husband Phil Harris and two young daughters. Her recording output was small. On this Melotone, recorded on September 25, 1934, Faye sings two songs from the film 365 Nights in Hollywood, "My Future Star: and "Yes to You." Wear, few scratches, plays well. Condition V
NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
