Though not as much of a household name as such contemporaries as Irving Berlin, Walter Donaldson (1893-1947) was among the most successful composers on Tin Pan Alley from the end of World War I to the mid-1930s, when not a year went by that he didn't have a hit song. The biggest of those hits were "My Mammy," "Carolina In the Morning," "My Buddy," "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," "My Blue Heaven," and "Makin' Whoopee," but there were dozens more. Yes Sir, That's My Baby: The Songs of Walter Donaldson collects 26 Donaldson hits recorded between 1922 and 1944, many of them the original hit recordings made by Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson, Paul Whiteman, Ted Lewis, Gene Austin, Ruth Etting, Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Armstrong, the Boswell Sisters, the Mills Brothers, Billie Holiday, and Bing Crosby. For example, the version of "My Blue Heaven" (the most popular song in record history until "White Christmas" came along) is the hit version by Gene Austin from 1927, "That Certain Party" is the Ted Lewis original from 1925, and "Sleepy Head" is the Mills Brothers' 1934 recording. The album is not perfect -- for one thing, there's no version at all of "My Buddy," and for another, the recordings of songs like "My Mammy" and "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," while performed by their popularizers, Jolson and Cantor, are '40s re-recordings, not the originals. But this extensive collection (running more than 76 minutes) is a major step in recognizing one of the most important songwriters of the interwar period, and for that it gets high marks. ~ William Ruhlmann
