It's Iceman Time, Folks!
From 1958, here's Jerry Butler and the Impressions with a classic rhythm and blues ballad "For Your Precious Love." The song was released on Vee Jay subsidiary Falcon Records.
Having found out that there had already been a Falcon Records label in existance, the parent company changed the label's name to Abner Records, after Ewart Abner, who was at the time the general manager at Vee Jay.

Headin' For The Poorhouse
From Ember Records (a part of Herald-Ember) in 1958, here are the Silhouettes with their unsuccessful follow-up to "Get A Job," a ditty entitled "Headin' For The Poorhouse."
Time For A Movie, Boys And Girls
From newly-revived Monogram Picutures in 1937, we bring you "Atlantic Flight." This movie stars Dick Merrill (who in real life, had become the first pilot to make a commercial transatlantic roundtrip flight) portrays himself as a pilot crossing the Atlantic with a medical serum that can save a friend's life. This movie includes footage from Mr. Merrill's own stormy Atlantic crossing. Dick is joined in the cast by Jack Lambie, Paula Stone, and Weldon Heyburn. With Scott Dunlap in charge of production and screenplay by Scott Darling and Erna Lazarus, this motion picture was directed by William Nigh.
