Painting the Clouds With Sunshine

Written by Al Dubin and Joe Burke for the 1929 Warner Brothers Pre-Code musical comedy The Gold Diggers of Broadway, starring Winnie Lightner and Nick Lucas. It was an international smash hit, earning today's equivalent of $75 million.

The cover of this music is suitable for framing, with a little repair work to the bottom right. The music itself is a little frail, with considerable wear, but it's perfectly usable.

That's My Weakness Now was written by Sam H. Stept and Bud Green in 1928. This became their first hit song together, having been made popular by singer Helen Kane that year (her photo is on the cover here). Another recording in 1928 was by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra, supported by a vocal group including Bing Crosby. Russ Morgan had a hit with it in 1949, reaching the No. 17 spot in the Billboard charts.

It is used as the opening theme in the silent Laurel and Hardy short We Faw Down in 1928 and in the 1929 Laurel and Hardy talkie short The Hoose-Gow.

It is also featured in the 1932 Krazy Kat cartoon Piano Mover and the Betty Boop cartoon Stopping the Show from the same year.

I only have the covers for this one, which means one page of the music (you can get the other sheet online). There’s dried tape on the left side, which a restorer, framer, binder or printer can remove. Once it’s cleaned up a little, it’ll look great in a frame.



Note: I have lots of vintage sheet music and music books listed here. If you'd like to buy more than one piece, let me know and I can give you a better price.
