The short-lived Buddy Clark, here with 2 standout examples of the "blue" songs that proliferated in the era.

Starting off in 1935 with a selection from "Porgy and Bess," as performed by the original Sportin' Life, Avon Long, backed by Leo Reisman and his Orchestra, "I Got Plenty Of Nuttin'." Somebody's been looking at my bank statements.
Next, the Milt Herth Trio in 1939 with a brain-worming rendition of "Monkeys Have No Tails In Pago Pago." There's just something about a hot Hammond organ solo that brings out the majesty in a silly thirties novelty tune.
