*"Rosy Cheeks" was written by Seymour Simons and Richard Whiting.

"The Enemy of Jazz"! That's what we called Irving Kaufman, whose vocals blighted many an otherwise terrific jazz record. BUT there's always an exception: Check out "Rosy Cheeks" by "The Six Hottentots". Irving - suddenly! - is a TERRIFIC jazz singer! He's relaxed, casual, loosey-goosey with the bar lines - just great. WHAT were they passing around in the studio that caused this? I dunno. But here it is. -Brad Kay
