Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees: 1928-1930

The selections on this CD by Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees represent a period in American popular music that has been all but forgotten. In fact, they present Rudy Vallee in a style that made him an overnight sensation on early radio broadcasts, but later on in his long career he chose to ignore. The Connecticut Yankees was a small band, usually only eight men, but it managed to achieve a characteristic sound, and on early radio broadcasts was just as important in building Vallee?s popularity as his singing. These recordings are notable for another Vallee talent, generally overlooked but exceedingly important in the early years – the ability to pick tunes that were best suited, not only to his singing, but to the over-all image he carefully cultivated of the kid-next-door: the friendly, unassuming, college boy striving for recognition. In the process, he succeeded in promoting a number of quality tunes into hits and helped to create a market for superior songs that, in itself, was unique to the period.
