Eddie Cantor - Makin' Whoopee download song

Pretty good quality for 1928

He was so handsome!

How can someone be so cute? ♥

I love these old-time entertainers--Cantor, Jolson, Chevalier, Durante, Merman, and even though he's known more for his dancing than singing, Fred Astaire knew how to put over a tune (and was a fantastic musician).  None of them had "great" voices, but they just knew how to entertain musically in a way that they just don't do anymore.

The biggest problem to modern viewers is the lack of audience reaction to Eddie's punchlines, he does time the gags for films, not stage, where he would have paused even longer, before the next line.. Many stage routines were ruined by filming, timing to long or simply the silence of having no proper audience. To appreciate it you have to imagine the reaction of waves of laughter to each gag, wide eyed stare, and double take he did. Stephen..

This guy was one of the best in the business

He was fantastic , a real performer.   Black face?  well, it was wrong in hindsight but I dont think it was done with any malice.  thanks forposting. Geoff. U.K.

I couldn't understand why they would allow a flub at 2:16, but realized he's changing from an old candlestick 2 piece phone to a "modern" 1 piece handset.

I love this version, Eddie is one of the best you are right.

So I decided I should finally watch The Eddie Cantor Story, because I'm a big fan of the man. Unfortunately Keefe Brasselle is as awful as they say, so here I am trying to erase that experience from my mind.

This is apparently not even a remaster. Why is it in such good video and audio quality for 1929? Why was not everything recorded like this? Why was this not the "accepted" quality until about the 60's or 70's?! Strange.

My dad used to sing this, so I learned to play it on guitar and we had a great time with it. Now he's gone and  I'm as old as he was, but the song will endure forever.

Nice that he could take a break from wrangling showgirls for Nucky to record this.

Cantor's enunciation is always perfect.  A wonderful entertainer.  Thanks for posting.

I'm in love with the girls' gowns and hats. Fashion in the early 1930s was exquisite, IMO. My favorite.

1:46 I love how he acts like he's ready to take that long walk down the aisle and then back peddles like siiiiiiike!

You better keep her, you'll find its cheaper, than making "Whoopie". Truer words have never been sung.

I'm in love with the woman to the left of Eddie at the beginning....Guess I missed my chance on her!

He is the best. And I've told my friends, but they just say: "Who?" Like with Rudee Valley, my love for Eddie is not often shared.
