Charlie Kunz
Medleys: Hits and Favourites


"Medley King" Charlie Kunz is the hero of this marvelous and elegant collection of Medleys: Hits and Favourites brought out by Rex records.

48 regulation length tracks (approximately three minutes a piece) bear witness to the fact that after leading a successful dance orchestra during the late 1920s and early to mid-'30s, Kunz established himself as a master of the piano medley.

Since there are several titles per track, this monument to accessibility gradually comes to resemble a goldmine of lovable innocent popular ditties from a bygone era.

Glowing examples include

"A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody,"
"The Music Goes 'Round and Around,"
"In a Little Gypsy Tea Room,"
"Anything Goes,"
"Pink Elephants,"
"On the Beach at Bali Bali,"
"I Can't Tell a Waltz from a Tango,"
"Hot Diggity," and
"There's a Pawnshop on a Corner in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania."
