THE MAN WHO MADE WHOPPEES
ALAIN ROBERT | ST-HUBERT,QUÉBEC | 08/20/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Not all the songs have survived well here,but there are enough good stuff to satisfy anyone with a nostalgic ear.Among the highlights are the original version of MAKIN'WHOPPEE as it was done in the show in 1928;THE AUTOMOBILE SONG is also fun to hear.With AL JOLSON,EDDIE CANTOR came to symbolize a whole area of AMERICAN culture that we should not forget.These collections have one major drawback for music lovers:it seems that for them,nobody write or compose songs,so they must come from the sky or something.Who wrote who?You must know your AMERICAN songbook rather well to know who wrote HUNGRY WOMEN for instance."
We want Cantor!

"What a great CD! You'll be singing along in no time. Cantor's lyrics are timeless and very humorous. Many classic songs here including "Makin' Whoopee", "Ida, Sweet as Apple Cider", "If You Knew Susie", "Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me", "Yes, Sir! That's My Baby", and many others. This music really brings you back to the golden age of radio. Put away those old scratched up 45's from the 30's and buy this CD. Suprisingly, the audio quality is very good. They must have remastered this CD because the vocals are bumped up and most of the hissing is filtered out. If you know Eddie Cantor, you'll love it! If you don't know of him, you should! (Ask your grandparents.) This double CD is a great collection of his music. (Big Band with vocals) I hate to say it but, Eddie Cantor could possibly be the "grandfather" of rap music. Take a listen yourself! You'll be hooked!"
Long Lost Eddie Cantor Recordings Available at Last!
Bill Callaway | Mattoon, Wi United States | 07/20/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"It is really great to hear again recordings that I thought were long lost. Listening to these recordings and orchestratons, it is evident that some were lifted from his movies, possibly from radio programs and a few from his bio, "The Eddie Cantor Story". The recordings undoubtedly span a period from the mid-30's thru the early 50's. Without liner notes, it is difficult to know when individual recordings were made. I believe this is what I found most disappointing about this two-cd set. For the price, liner notes and a discograpy should have been included. And for this reason, I will make no further purchases of the "Cocktail Hour" series. If, however, you are not a collector as I am and purchase cds strictly for musical content, these offerings are very well produced. I'm sure you will enjoy them. If you have been looking for a cd of Eddie Cantor recordings that are next to impossible to find in any other packaging, buy this cd. I believe some of this material was available many years ago in the old Decca catalog on a single Decca LP which is a very rare find. And to my knowledge, it was never re-issued by MCA. I have been searching for years for it. Many of the recordings found on this two cd set feature some great big-band orchestrations which only enhance Eddie Cantor's performance."
