Digression No.7

Here are a couple of late-breaking bonus items related to a few of our earlier posts. 

First, Jane Morgan's hit version of "Fascination" from the movie Love in the Afternoon, complete with picture sleeve of Coop in ascot and Hepburn in pigtails. Old chic and young chick. The flip side of the single is the same arrangement, sans Jane. This is from a 1957 45.

And related to the Raymond Scott LP, we have another commercial ditty that he wrote, this one for Duquesne, a beer that was made in Pittsburgh. The song is insistent and quite repetitive. It sticks in your head - in other words, it's effective. The ad dates from 1955. I think it's something of a rare item - I don't see it in the Scott discography, but I could be wrong. The label of the promotional 78 is below.

2022 update: The Duquesne song mentioned above ("It Outsells...Because It Excels") is newly remastered and sounding much better. Listening to it again, I am virtually certain that the uncredited singers are the J's with Jamie. There's a download link in the comments to this post.
