Description
Discovered in Cincinnati, Ramona was Paul Whiteman’s talented and chic pianist-vocalist who added her special panache to his discs from 1931 to 1936. She was popular enough to rate records under her own name such as this Victor. The artist credit reads: “A Special Interpretation by Ramona with Johnny Green, the Composer.” Indeed, the future Hollywood film executive accompanies Ramona as she shows her stuff with his “Weep No More, My Baby,” recorded on August 24, 1933, and “Who Do You Think You Are,” recorded on August 14. Few light scratches. Condition V++
NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
