  25. The songs from High Society are SUCH a mixed bag.

    Louis Armstrong makes everything he touches gold.

    Frank's two ballads, "You're Sensational" and "Mind If I Make Love To You" are insufferably insipid, and frankly I don't know how the second got past the Hays Code.

    "True Love" has an exquisitely delicious melody, but the lyrics are saccharine and meh.

    "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" puts a grin on your face, and "Did You Ever" is unquestionably the show-stopper.

    "Now You Have (Has?) Jazz" is an ACTUAL BOP and Bing is adorably fun but also impossibly square.

  26. Musical Interlude: How about some Lena? Her last recording session (although there's talk that another happened) gave us some gems. Sure, her voice wasn't what it once was, but she still had attitude and her voice and delivery reflected her experience. Here's a delightful Cole Porter song.

    "It's All Right with Me," performed by Lena Horne.

  38. In 1932, the Great Depression had reached its peak, with unemployment in the US alone topping out at 24.9%. (Right now in 2025 it’s at 4.4%.)

    Amelia Earhart’s triumphant solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean gave the papers some positive news to print, as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt beating out Herbert Hoover for the role of US president.

    The big band sound and jazz dominated the music scene, with Cole Porter’s song “Night And Day” sung by Fred Astaire being the biggest hit of the year.
