Bubi, my favorite is the German title of the one-step " Swanee ", the melody of which George Gershwin composed in 1918. The German version with words by Paul Preil was published in Germany in 1920 by Bosworth & Co. in Leipzig.

background

The hit became known in Germany in 1920 after the entertainer Al Jolson launched it in America in his show "Sindbad". In Berlin played the One-step the Society -Orchester of Marek Weber for Lindströms Parlophon - label , the jazz band "Original Piccadilly Four" for Anchor (1026, matr 2746th) and Homokord (16,199) and the jazz pioneer Eric Borchard , still under his pseudonym Eric Concerto, with his Yankee Jazz Band for the Leipzig “Polyphon” on the gramophone record . There he was also recorded by the “Kapellmeister Stern with his artist band from the Hotel Adlon, Berlin” under the German title “Bubi, my favorite”. It was also under this title that both their “Vox” dance orchestra and the Romanoffs Jazz Band led by the Russian Boris Romanoff played in the recording funnel for the newly founded Berlin company Vox . The orchestra of the Palais de Danse played him for Odeon under the direction of the conductor Carl Rosenthal, on Beka he was heard by the J. Schura Polischuk orchestra. The title was also available as a piano roll for electric pianos, even for the mechanical zither "Triola". Even after the Second World War the trumpeter Kurt Hohenberger played him with his soloists for the label "Amiga" .
