The album 1921 Make Believe And Smile by Various is a delightful collection of songs that take listeners back to the roaring twenties. This album features some of the most popular songs from the era, including "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Charleston," and "Sweet Georgia Brown." The performances are excellent, with each artist bringing their unique style and interpretation to the songs.
The album starts off with the upbeat and lively "Charleston," which sets the tone for the rest of the collection. The songs are arranged in a way that keeps the listener engaged, with slower, more romantic tunes like "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and "Body and Soul" interspersed between the more upbeat numbers.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ain't Misbehavin'," performed by Fats Waller. His playful and energetic style perfectly captures the spirit of the song, and it's easy to picture people dancing along to the music in a smoky jazz club.
Another highlight is "Sweet Georgia Brown," performed by Ben Bernie and His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra. The song has a catchy melody and a fun, upbeat rhythm that's hard to resist.
