Martha Tilton - And The Angels Sing (c1956)

Martha Tilton - And The Angels Sing (1956) Benny Goodman ---------------------------------------- ------------------------------ The “SHOWER OF STARS“ specials were staged live from CBS Television City in Hollywood, NOT Desilu (in 1956, their facilities were at Motion Picture Center- they didn’t purchase RKO’s studio until September 1957). All “live“ TV programs were filmed with a special camera {converting the 30 frames per second screen image to a 24 frames per second film speed}- either 16 or 35mm- for delayed rebroadcast on stations unable to carry those programs “live“- and kept by the networks for legal “kinnies“, though, cost twice as much to film as black and white ones, so the networks usually had “live“ color programs preserved on black and white film; it’s very rare for a color “kinnie“ from the ’50s to be found.

Renamed And the Angels Sing, it became a #1 hit in 1939, and further solidified Elman’s name before the public. The tunes included Fralich in Swing, which was Elman’s Jewish version of a Romanian song called Der Shtiler Bulgar, and Zaggin’ with Zig, which Bernardi composed “ ______________________________________ Jim Brooks’ video info: ______________________________________ Martha Tilton official website: ______________________________________ This video is respectfully dedicated to the memory of “Martha Ellen Tilton (Brooks)“ an extraordinarily fine singer & lady, and to her many fans.
