Crankin' It Up; Memorial Day Weekend



Arthur Fields recorded My Buddy on the Cameo label in November of 1922. This song was introduced by Al Jolson in the same year, and it is pretty well believed that it was written for Great War veterans who lost their buddies in France. If you get a chance to watch the silent film, "The Big Parade," you will hear this song in the sound track added to the movie.
