My husband Larry is sorting through boxes and boxes of stuff we brought with us when we moved from California to Utah and haven’t looked at since we arrived here 13 years ago. He is finding some super material that I will be sharing with you. Below is one of the gems.
Some of the Big Band’s Female Singers
You probably can’t read the names so I will reprint them for you.
From the top left: Glen Miller’s Marion Hutton, Tommy Dorsey’s Jo Stafford, Pastor’s Rosemary Clooney; Anson Week’s Dale Evans, Tommy Tucker’s Amy Arnell, Benny Goodman’s Helen Ward, Raeburn’s Ginny Powell, Goodman’s and Bradley’s Louise Tobin, Kemp’s Nan Wynn.
Some of these ladies went from the Big Bands to the Big Screen, especially Rosemary Clooney, Marion Hutton and Dale Evans (Mom).
Jo Stafford married Big Band leader Paul Whiteman and they provided us with many years of great music. I don’t know the other ladies but, if you want to comment on any of them, I will be glad to post your comments.
