Description
Midge Williams (1915-1952) was an Afro-American jazz singer who made records, some under her own name, mostly in the late 1930s. She performed with Lois Armstrong but did not record with him. Poor health ended her career and she died young. On this Melotone, she sings one side “My Newest Excitement” with Jerry Freeman and his Orchestra. On the flips side, Johnny Russell sings “A Moment in the Dark.” Both were recorded on November 24, 1937. Condition E--
NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
