Tanzoni & his Dance Orchestra - I'm Playing With Fire - 1932

One of the most beautiful waltzes of 1932, "Moonlight on the river", was ignored by most of the dance bands and clearly did not gain much popularity at the time.  Despite this, had it  been recorded by Al Bowlly with Ray Noble, I am quite certain that it would now be considered as one of Al's greatest recordings. Here, Harry Bentley sings with real feeling and emotion in a delightfully smooth arrangement from carroll Gibbons. Incidentally, Ray Noble did provide the orchestral accompaniment when Melville Gideon recorded the song for HMV, what a pity that he didn't also record a version with his resident vocalist.
