More Details
The singer is Del Casino. The other actor is Jeni Freeland. "Surrender" was recorded 9/30/46.
Emile Petti & His Orchestra back up Del Casino (who usually has his own orchestra) crooning the title number Surrender (1946) to Jeni Freeland. This was recorded much earlier than 1946, but not released until then.
The stage is tricked out like a sandy beach by a pier, on which there is a club or cafe open to the seaside, the orchestra being in there while Del sings just outside.
The love song seems like a commercial big-band number of the day: "I'll bring you/ A love you can cling to/ A love that won't be untrue/ So please be tender/ And darling surrender/ And love me as I love you."
lyrics
Surrender, why don't you surrender? How long can your lips live without a kiss? Surrender, I beg you surrender How long can your heart resist? I'll bring you a love you can cling to A love that won't be untrue So please be tender and darling surrender And love me as I love you I'll bring you a love you can cling to A love that won't be untrue So please be tender and darling surrender And love me as I love you
