CDS:

Martha Raye: Sweetheart of
Song--though already deceased, some of her old songs have been remastered
and placed on this CD! |
Webmaster's Note 1: Additional
information about The Judy Garland Show came to me from Robert Rechter in
Australia. He saw the show recently on tape and said that Martha Raye blew him
away--"she was hilarious." Her dance sequence was cracking up the
chorus boys. I've seen the show also and it was very funny.
Webmaster's Note 2: Additional information about
the song Mr. Paginini came to me from Dan Icolari. He said that this song
is also associated with the great Ella Fitzgerald and is on one of her CD's with
bandleader Chick Webb. Likewise Al Kato stated that "You'll Have To Swing It"
was the actual title of the song but Mr. Paginini became the unofficial popular
title along the way. Look at the actual "You'll Have To Swing It" sheet music!
