Ben Selvin, Pickens Sisters - Nobody Loves No Baby (1931)

Nobody Loves No Baby, Like My Baby Loves Me Words and Music by Walter Donaldson Performed by Ben Selvin and His Orchestra Vocal refrain by The Pickens Sisters Recorded July 14, 1931 Columbia 2501-D Ben Selvin (1898 - 1980) was the recording director at Columbia records. Still in his thirties, Selvin already had nearly two decades in the music business as a violinist, an orchestra leader, a songwriter, a music contractor, a radio conductor and a recording artist. As recording director for Columbia Selvin organized sessions for popular singers like Ruth Etting, Ethel Waters and Kate Smith and produced dates by studio groups that were sometimes released under his own name, sometimes under pseudonyms as The Columbia Photo Players and The Midnight Minstrels. He also supervised many of Benny Goodman's early recording sessions, featuring Tommy Dorsey, Manny Kline, Adrian Rollini, Rube Bloom and Eddie Lang. The Pickens Sisters, Grace, Jane and Helen, came from Macon Georgia. Taught by their mother to harmonize from childhood, they arrived in New York with a striking sound and extensive musical training but no experience in the style and delivery of popular music. They were singing old-fashioned songs at a party when they were discovered by Stella Karn, a radio publicity woman who took them to Vincent Lopez, who helped arrange auditions for Victor Records and NBC radio. They made records for Victor between 1932 and 1934 and were often heard on their own NBC radio show. Though never as popular as the Boswell Sisters, the Pickens Sisters had marvelous harmony and helped define their era. In 1935, the trio broke but sister, Jane pursued a career as a soloist and sang with Eddie Duchin and had other club dates in New York City. She often accompanied herself on the piano. She appeared with Ed Wynn in "Boys and Girls Together" (1940-41) and in 1949 had a starring role in the musical "The Little Foxes." From 1948 through 1957 she had her own radio show on NBC called "Pickens Party."
