Boop-Oop-A-Dooin’: The Songs of Sammy Timberg

As I was routing around the blog I noticed we’d had a few substantial mentions of early cartoon composer Sammy Timberg by Dave Kirwan and Anne D. Bernstein. It’s pretty hard to find his family’s excellent 2004 recreation CD from his original arrangements for songs from Fleischer Studios’ Betty Boop, Superman, Popeye and others. So, I’m posting {lower resolution than perfect} files of the CD until it becomes readily available again. Like a lot of you, I love cartoon music from back in the day, so enjoy.–Fred

Liner Notes

This album dramatizes the importance of giving more attention to virile, genuinely creative musicians who have paid their dues many times over and are regarded highly by their peers.  Casting Junior Cook with leadership credits and rights at this late date is emblematic of the conspicuous lack of opportunity for proper recognition, especially in this era of overnight “stardom” and excessive recording…  and of the void Muse is helping to fill.
