Eddie Cantor Appreciation Society
Recordings

The Carnegie Hall Concert
In 1962 an album was released that purported to be Eddie Cantor at Carnegie Hall; it was not. In reality it was a studio recording done in snippets with canned audience response. Here, for the first time, on two CDs, is his complete 90 minute 1950 show with songs and anecdotes from his 40 years in show business! click here to hear samples & order
The Show That Never Aired
At 9:00 PM on October 23, 1940, Eddie Cantor went before his radio audience and informed them that President Roosevelt was taking over the airwaves. Undaunted, he performed the show anyway, throwing away the script and performing a completely improvised show. This 1/2 hour format turned into almost an hour and was only heard by the studio audience...until now. click here to hear samples & order

I Remember Jolson
Eddie Cantor, like so many millions, adored Al Jolson. Even though they were competitors of a sort, Eddie remained an ardent fan of Jolie's. In reviewing dozens of hours of Cantor's archival radio discs, there was a common thread--numerous salutes to the World's Greatest Entertainer. Because of the overwhelming response to the first Cantor-Jolson collection, we decided to put together the ultimate tribute to Al from Eddie, including an early sketch from the TIME TO SMILE radio show and stories are culled from hours of radio shows that Cantor did in the early 50's. Now you have access to all those stories without having to tear through dozens of cassettes to find them (even if you had all the cassettes!) There is also a bonus episode of SHOW BUSINESS OLD AND NEW that was a complete half hour tribute to Jolie. click here to hear samples & order
Season Debut of '32
When the Chase and Sanborn 4 CD set was first put together, this would have been included, but it was nowhere to be found. Only last year was this recording located in incredibly good condition. We had two songs on the 4 CD set from this show, and now we have the rest of the broadcast from which they came. Hear the excitement of Eddie's return to the airwaves after his first stupendous season, as well as the additional great musical numbers! It is also interesting to note the debut of Eddie's longtime theme, "I Love To Spend Each Sunday With You." click here to hear samples & order
NEW! HITS & RARITIES
Hear Eddie introduce songs like "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and "Try a Little Tenderness" as well as, for the first time on CD, the cartoon theme "Merrily We Roll Along" with Cantor himself talking about it! With 25 tracks in all, you get to hear Eddie sing live with a 1930s radio orchestra. Includes his signature hits like "Ma!" and "Oh Gee! Oh Gosh! Oh Golly I'm In Love." 1950 cover art by son-in-law Roberto Gari!
