1929 HITS ARCHIVE: Wedding Bells (Are Breaking Up That Old Gang Of Mine) - Gene Austin

A harmonizing interlude with Dick Robertson and Ed Smalle enhances Austin’s telling of this poignant tale. In 1954 The Four Aces would enjoy a minor success with their much brighter arrangement of the song, released on the flip side of the million-selling “Three Coins In The Fountain.”

Transferred from the original (worn) 78rpm: Victor 21893 - Wedding Bells (Are Breaking Up That Old Gang Of Mine) (Kahal-Raskin-Fain) by Gene Austin, assisted by Robertson and Smalle, orchestra conducted by Leonard Joy, recorded in NYC February 23, 1929
