If you listened to the radio or went to the movies from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s, the booming voice of Tony Martin was very familiar and immediately identifiable. A hit recording artist since 1938, he had the good looks and romantic vocal delivery that tinseltown and America found irresistable.

Recording information: 1936-1938.
Tony Martin was an enormously popular crooner of romantic tunes that were featured in early Hollywood films of the mid-'30s. The Early Years is a budget-priced, 19-track selection recorded for the Brunswick and Vocalion labels between 1936-1938. Among the sentimental and romantic fodder are versions of "Where the Lazy River Goes By" featuring Ray Noble & His Orchestra, "Marching Along With Time" by Mannie Klein & His Swing-A-Hulas, and Martin's first hit in 1938, Irving Berlin's "Now It Can Be Told." ~ Al Campbell
