About "Just a Gigolo (Brunswick 6023) [Recorded 1931]" by Ben Bernie And His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra
Bernie's 'Just a Gigolo' swaggers with Depression-era charm, all sly horns and knowing winks. The 1931 recording balances jaunty rhythm with a whiff of melancholy—a dancehall grin masking the loneliness of the title character.
