1929 HITS ARCHIVE: Turn On The Heat - Earl Burtnett (Dick Robertson, vocal)

Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell starred in the 1929 Fox Film “Sunnyside Up,” which introduced this and several other new DeSylva, Brown, and Henderson song hits. Though label-credited to Earl Burtnett (and issued on the 78 flip side of a bona fide Burtnett track), this posted number was recorded at a Meyer Davis session.

Original 78rpm issue on Brunswick 4573 - Turn On The Heat (DeSylva-Brown-Henderson) by Meyer Davis and his Swanee Syncopators, vocal by Dick Robertson, recorded in NYC c. October 6, 1929
