1945 Jimmy Dorsey - Twilight Time (Teddy Walters, vocal)

From ‘the78prof’ playlist “And Then They Added Words.” When songwriter-producer-talent manager Buck Ram began overseeing the career of The Platters during the 1950s, he consistently provided them with his own compositions to record, both the new (“Only You,” “The Great Pretender,” “The Magic Touch,” etc.) and the old, including “Twilight Time” . Ram’s lyrics for the 1944 Three Suns instrumental hit had first been recorded in this Jimmy Dorsey release. The original 78rpm single was issued on Decca 18656 - Twilight Time (B. Ram-M. Nevins-A. Nevins-A. Dunn) by Jimmy Dorsey & his Orchestra, vocal by Teddy Walters, recorded January 11, 1945
