One of Satch’s most well-loved pop records – and one that he himself was reportedly quite fond of: “A Kiss to Build a Dream On”. The song was written in 1935 for a Marx Brothers film in which it never appeared. It languished for 15 years before it was picked up for use in another film, The Strip, starring Mickey Rooney.
This record enjoys popularity today among video game fans who know it from the game Fallout 2.
Recorded in New York City on July 24, 1951.
Released as Decca 27720.
