Boop Aincha Song - Betty

Originally recorded by singer Helen Kane in 1929 for the film Pointed Heels . Kane's "baby style" and "boop-oop-a-doop" scatting directly influenced animator Max Fleischer when he created the Betty Boop character in 1930.

While Helen Kane popularized the style, it was later revealed in a 1934 lawsuit that she had copied her unique scatting and "boops" from a Black child performer in Harlem named Esther Jones (known as "Baby Esther").

The song is a flirty confession of love, with Betty asking her sweetheart if he "ain'tcha kinda glad" that she loves him. It famously includes her signature scatting and playful references to future domestic life, such as a "parlor, kitchenette, and twin beds". Sample Post: "The Voice That Defined an Era"

The song "Ain'tcha?" is a cornerstone of Betty Boop's history, representing the flirty, "Jazz Age" energy of the 1920s and 30s.

I have read you new book “Behind the Landscape.” I could not “put it down” meaning that I kept at it because each photo you presented/analyzed was interesting and informative. I am trying to develop an eye for composition (both the scene and the light).

Thank you! The examples you present and the suggestions are very helpful. Purple Mountains, McKinley River and Wonder Lake are fascinating.

Your generosity to share, the clarity of thought and concise explanation thereof is brilliant. Perhaps I should also mention the beautiful photos and the talent necessary to produce them.

Thank you, Dan.
