Written in 1910 by African American songwriter Sheldon Brooks, the SOME OF THESE DAYS took on a new life after being embraced by popular Vaudeville singer SOPHIE TUCKER who made it her theme song and sang it nonstop in her act until her death in 1966. By 1966 the song had long before become a jazz standard. Besides Sophie's three pre-1930 recordings of it the tune was recorded by numerous Jazz Bands, Torch Singers, Jazz Singers, Washboard Bands and it could b e heard in "nightclub scenes" in numerous pre-code Hollywood films! We play play just a few of those versions! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/american-grooves-hour/support
