Post any questions you might have about "This Day in Music History" or music history in general here.

Can anyone tell me the name of the genre of the music popular in the 1920 and 1930. I don't mean Swing or Jazz. I mean songs like 'Oh, Donna Clara' and 'Lilli Marlen'.

Is there, or was there an artist by the name of Eddie Swarts; Shwarts....because I thought there was, I think he only had one big hit......this would have been back in the 80's

'Oh, Donna Clara' seems to be catagorized as comedy and caberet. The reference I found says it was composed by J. Petersburski and sung by Al Jolson. Although there is available a cd by Palace Orchestra out of germany or denmark, I'm not sure.
'Lilli Marlen' appears to be based on a World War I (1915) German poem by Hans Leip (a German soldier) and adapted into music by Norbert Schultze. Not sure what genre it would be called.
