About This Song

About "You Call It Madness, But I Call It Love (Brunswick 6189) [Recorded 1931]" by Ben Bernie And His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra

Bernie's 1931 Brunswick cut treats madness as a lover's alibi, the orchestra swaying between smoky ballad and brisk fox-trot. The tension is delicious: a calm croon over a rhythm that twitches with barely contained obsession, as if the dance floor itself might crack under the weight of such sweet delusion.
