"Let Me Call You Sweetheart" is a popular song, with music by Leo Friedman and lyrics by Beth Slater Whitson. The song was published in 1910 and first recorded by the Peerless Quartet. It is what we call "an old standard" in the organ repertoire. I skated to this often, and one of my first organ "Heroes" was Ken Griffin, who pretty much made this his theme. Played in the strictly legit old-fashioned way, and with golden Hammond Organ registrations. There are no reed sounds in the left hand (except for me, of course) and the right hand is varied each time through. Mr. Bill Levy at O'neils' Hammond department in Akron Ohio taught me that these basic Hammond sounds were the most important of all, because the whole organ industry was based on them..That was in the 1950's when he told me that...and I have found his words to be true for over 60 years. Please enjoy, and remember "Life is Good", even in the great old songs.😎🎹
