Description
COLUMBIA 78 RPM Record 2091-D Frankie Marvin “I Don’t Work for a Living” /”Slue Foot Lou” VG + + Visible Condition, several long light scratches and a few scuffs but lots of shine. Plays very good “I Don’t Work for a Living” is a pretty hilarious novelty vaudevillian song. The other side starts with yodeling that is pretty good. Frankie Marvin was born January 27, 1904 in Butler, Indian Territory, where he grew up with his brother, the future popular singer and ukulele man Johnny Marvin. At some point in the mid-1920s, Frankie came to New York to begin a recording career like his brother. Frankie Marvin sang variously as a studio vocalist for dance and jazz bands (he can be heard singing “St. James Infirmary” with King Oliver’s Orchestra) and a country singer a la Jimmie Rodgers, often accompanying himself on guitar. Marvin also worked as an accompanist to Gene Autry on some of his early records.
