This record was produced in New York City in 1932 featuring Rudy Vallee vocals, accompanied by his "Connecticut Yankees".

*"Brother Can You Spare A Dime?" composed in 1931 by Jay Gorney, with lyrics by Yip Harburg.

Popular singer Rudy Vallee performs a song that would become an anthem of sorts during the worst years of the Great Depression. The best selling version of the period was recorded by Bing Crosby for Brunswick.
