Night and Day (US version)

~ Recording by Leo Reisman and His Orchestra vocal refrain by Fred Astaire

Annotation

The young record industry nearly dissapeared as the Great Depression reached it's lowest point during 1932-1933. Several records sold close to 1 million copies in the late 1920s. The best selling record for this two year period was "Night and Day", with just over 22,000 copies.
