Some of you will recognize such illustrious photographers as George Hurrell, Clarence Sinclair Bull, and Virgil Apger among the portraits here. The music is a Cole Porter Medley by Paul Whiteman and his Concert Orchestra from 1933 that was originally released on a "concert record" on 12" 78 rpm format. Thanks to nedsparks for the following info: "This was recorded February 2, 1933. Harry "Goldie" Goldfield is the featured trumpeter. Here are the singers: What Is This Thing Called Love: The Pickens Sisters (Patti, Helen & Jane)/ You've Got That Thing: The Rollickers/You Do Something To Me: Ramona." These large size high quality images were restored by me and Max and are available on Dr. Macro's Annex page for Harlow for free: http://www.doctormacro.info. There are many others I haven't used in this slideshow. Some haven't gotten there yet but will get there eventually.

Dear Ziggy, Thanks for uploading this! But, check your turntable. It's running a little fast. Bix Beiderbecke died August 6, 1931. The Porter medley was recorded February 2, 1933. Harry "Goldie" Goldfield is featured trumpeter. Here are the singers: What Is This Thing Called Love: The Pickens Sisters (Patti, Helen & Jane)/ You've Got That Thing: The Rollickers/You Do Something To Me: Ramona. I created a two-part tribute to Ramona on my channel.

Dear nedsparks, I can't thank you enough for this corrected info and the addition of the singers! I'd received the info I had from the person I'd gotten the song from ages ago. As you can tell, I'm no music expert :-/ I've corrected my text description with thanks given to you. I absolutely love this piece! And I love knowing all about it. Thanks so much again :)

Thank you!!! Oh, I don't think she's forgotten. She still has a huge fan base of admirers. Even Madonna and others have imitated her (of course not come close). She was and is a fabulous star! So glad you enjoyed this. Best, jane :)
