“I Can See You All Over The Place” – Clarence Williams (1935)

A lovely inverted label Vocalion that finds the charming Clarence Williams languidly singing a new tune that biographer Tom Lord notes seems to be based on a reworking of the chord structure of “Squeeze Me”, which he co-wrote with Fats Waller and first recorded nearly ten years before. While it isn’t the “hot dance” number the label claims, I find it quite enjoyable.

“Oh If I’m dreamin’, please let me dream”

Recorded in New York on February 9, 1935.
Released as Vocalion 2958.
