Collects 25 vintage Eddie Cantor performances showcasing the singer, comedian, stage star, and radio personality in the kind of energetic vocal material that made him one of America's major entertainers of the early 20th century. The program centers on songs associated with the 1930s and combines familiar standards, novelty numbers, romantic popular songs, and orchestra-backed performances, including “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” “You Hit the Spot,” “Try a Little Tenderness,” and “Yes Sir! That's My Baby.” The disc was issued by Original Cast Records as catalog number OC-6017.

The collection provides a broad sampling of Cantor's lively performance style, moving between sentimental standards, Tin Pan Alley pop, comic material, and show-business favorites. It should have particular appeal for collectors of traditional pop, vaudeville-era entertainment, old-time radio, American popular song, and historic vocal recordings, especially listeners interested in Cantor beyond only his best-known hits. Cantor is generally classified in Vocal and Stage & Screen music, with Traditional Pop, Tin Pan Alley Pop, Vocal Pop, and Show Tunes among his associated styles.
