There was a strike - singers, songwriters, studio people, and heavens knows what else (I wasn't there). Music was laid on hold. Copyright law was being checked for people "re-doing" music that did not belong to them.

Freddy Martin was a popular orchestra leader and a fine tenor-sax man. He had a lot of people dependent on him for gigs. He always liked a classical piece done by Tchaikovsky that was in the public domain so he worked an arrangement with it and got it recorded in 1941 - Tonight We Love but it's still Tchaikovsky's B-Flat Piano Concerto. This 78RPM record ( I have one) sold a million copies.

I don't remember the trumpet soloist but Jack Fina was on the piano for this recording.

My old man could let us know but he's dead just like most everything good that used to be.
