Crown 3133 A The High Steppers I WANNA SING ABOUT YOU

The High Steppers’ “I Wanna Sing About You” on Crown 3133 is an early-1930s popular dance-band recording of the song written by Dave Dreyer and Cliff Friend. It has the polished, sentimental dance-orchestra sound typical of the period, built around a romantic lyric about being so taken with someone that they become the inspiration for a song. A contemporary recording of the same composition by Ben Selvin’s orchestra dates from May 1931, helping place the song firmly in the 1931 popular-music season. Release date: 1931 (Crown 3133). The available online discographical sources I found do not establish a reliable exact day or month for Crown 3133, so 1931 is the safest release date to use.
