Physical disability is no bar to musicianship - indeed, in some instances such as the blind keyboard players George Shearing and Ray Charles, the enhanced hearing faculties have actually been an advantage. Losing limbs is more problematic, but not always insurmountable. Take losing an arm and playing trumpet: normally one arm gives support (and the hand can be used for muting effects, etc.), the other facilitates the hand which actually operates the valves. Playing with only one arm - inconvenient, but not impossible. Enter Joseph Manone.This compilation is of the ‘happy’ songs Wingy recorded at the height of his recording success with "Isle Of Capri". If not all the lyrics were actually happy in content, then Manone made sure that the overall effect was the desired one at the time of Depression - a lifting of spirits. Everything received the unique Manone treatment, even (unbelievably?) "On The Good Ship Lollipop", which owed nothing to that other lifter of spirits of the time, Miss Shirley Temple. There is little doubt that Louis Prima, also born in New Orleans but eleven years Wingy’s junior, took a lead from him, and although unlike Manone, Prima forsook Dixieland-style jazz early in his career, his vocal styling continued to recall that of the older man.
