Goodnight My Love 1930-1937
In the early 1920s Ruth Etting began her show business career as a local nightclub singer in Chicago. By 1926 her popularity in Chicago had given rise to a radio show and her first recording contract. Ruth's big break came when she was given a spot in the 1927 edition of the Ziegfeld Follies in which she introduced the hit songShaking the Blues Away. This was followed by several more appearances in Ziegfeld shows, including the very last Follies that Florenz Zeigfeld himself produced in 1931. This collection features recordings made from 1930, a high point in her career, to 1937, the year of Ruth's final commercial recording session prior to her premature retirement. Among these songs areExactly Like You,GuiltyandIt's Swell Of You(from her last session).
