VINTAGE 1950 Decca Childs Phonograph Record Player DP-47 FRANK LUTHER (Disney)

VINTAGE 1950 Decca Childs Phonograph Record Player DP-47 FRANK LUTHER. Made of steel, this 4 lb vintage gem displays great! See photos. Frank Luther's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame represents his chief claim to fame. Early in his recording career, he made some 7" shellac records for children. Several sets were made for Victor in 1933. In 1934, Frank began to record for the new 35-cent blue label Decca company. He did two 78rpm albums of songs for children "Mother Goose Songs" and "Nursery Rhymes." Child psychologists began to endorse the Luther recordings. The first two albums sold in enormous quantity, and were pressed numerous times. He was now in demand as Decca's performer of children's songs and stories. Selling even better were his recordings of Winnie-the-Pooh Songs based on A.A. Milne's books for children and Babar Songs and Stories based on Jean de Brunhoff's Babar the Elephant books. A Luther-composed "Alice in Wonderland" album, a true-to-the-original album of songs from Disney's "Snow White, "Tuneful Tales," "Manners Can Be Fun," "Raggedy Ann Songs," and hundreds more established Frank Luther as the dean of children's recordings. Decca claimed, in 1946, that 85% of the records for young people sold in the English-speaking world were Luther's. Platter makes noise when plugged in.
