At first sight I see not much resemblance between the two voices, but I haven't heard Bailey in this, so I'm unable to compare.

She sounds an awful lot like Mildred Bailey, who also recorded this song, or maybe Mildred was channeling Ruth.

Beautiful recording - obviously some of the words not so politically correct anymore, to say the least! Sounds like the singer Maude Maggart has used Ruth Etting as a template for her own work. Just saw the Doris Day "biopic" - of course it has been whitewashed as those things always are. Etting's life would make a fascinating film now.

"Love me or leave me" was the movie bio of singer Ruth Etting, who was NOT an alcoholic. "With a song in my heart" was the movie bio of singer Jane Froman, who WAS an alcoholic.

I seriously doubt that! Watch the film.

I haven't seen the film for many years, but that was the basis of the law suit. Since she won the case perhaps the film was re-edited.

There is nothing in that film that even implies that Etting was a drunk. Maybe you'd better watch it with that in mind.
