MYSTERIOUS MOSE by HARRY RESER & THE RADIO ALL-STARS
This is another song which has been recorded many times but this is my fave. The creeping, stalking intro breaks into a swinging big band arrangement with quavery vocals by Dick Robertson who describes someone who "waits for you upon the stairs". The record is from around March 24, 1930 and features the sound effects and vocal noises which would become well-known a decade later in the records of Spike Jones & His City Slickers. Something of a trend-setter, ol' Mose. Don't forget to listen to the song over there in the box on the right.
