Broken Brothers Clown Clowns Hearted Neck Noel Pointed Ruff Sherry Song 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
Broken-Hearted Clown" is a captivating music cover from the 1930s, showcasing the sorrowful expression of a clown named Art Noel, sung in collaboration with Don Pelosi. The image, taken in 1937, presents a poignant contrast to the typical joy and merriment associated with clowns. Noel, dressed in a white and blue costume with a black and red face, dons a pointed hat and a ruff collar. His brothers Dan and Jim Ruff are also featured in the photo, each holding an instrument. The cover art, which was likely used for a 78rpm record, captures the essence of the song's lyrics, which delve into the depths of heartache and sadness. The clown's painted face, usually a symbol of happiness and amusement, is instead a reflection of his inner turmoil. His smiling eyes, however, hint at a glimmer of hope, suggesting that even in the midst of heartbreak, there is still a chance for joy and redemption. The photograph, taken during the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the world of entertainment during that era. The brothers, who were known for their musical talents, likely traveled from town to town, performing for audiences and bringing moments of joy and laughter, even as they dealt with their own personal struggles. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human capacity for resilience and the power of music to heal and uplift, even in the darkest of times. This evocative cover art, which has been preserved by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the rich history of music and entertainment. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of the human experience and the power of art to capture and express emotions that transcend time and place.
