Description
78 RPM RECORD FROM OCTOBER 14, 1929 - VICTOR V-38552. "BIG BUSINESS" PARTS 1 & 2 FEATURING ED. GREEN (EDDIE GREEN) AND BILLY HIGGINS AND COMPANY IN A SCENE FROM CONNIE'S HOT CHOCOLATES ACCOMPANIED BY FATS WALLER AT THE PIANO. HERE IS ONE OF THE RAREST ITEMS FROM THE GREAT ERA OF HARLEM BEFORE THE STOCK MARKET CRASH THAT SAME MONTH OF 1929. THIS IS AS CLOSE TO BEING IN THE FAMOUS CONNIE'S INN WHERE THE BEST SHOWS IN HARLEM WERE WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY THE CREAM OF TALENT AVAILABLE (LOUIS ARMSTRONG, FLETCHER HENDERSON, ETC.). THIS RECORD FEATURES EDDIE GREEN, WHO WAS FAMOUS FOR WRITING THE SONG, "A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND" (1918). HE WAS LATER FEATURED IN OTHER SHOWS, ON RADIO AND FOUNDED HIS OWN MOTION PICTURE COMPANY. BILLY HIGGINS RECORDED WITH A NUMBER OF JAZZ AND BLUES SINGERS IN THE 1920'S. THEY ARE ASSISTED BY THE COMPANY FROM THE HOT CHOCOLATES SHOW ALL WITH FATS WALLER PLAYING PIANO AND HAVING A GOOD TIME I'M SURE! THE DISC IS IN "E-" CONDITION AND PLAYS VERY WELL WITH CLEAR SOUND ON BOTH SIDES. DON'T MISS THIS ONE! THE STARTING BID IS $49.99.
