THE MELLOWAIRES?
I’m troublesome to stalk down who was in this series. They sang backup benefit of Martha Tilton and Johnny Mercer on Capitol’s brilliant conference on April 6, 1942 and at other sessions up until July 31, 1942, (the emanation of day beforehand the recording fugitive from justice went into effect) when the backed Freddie Slack and His Orchestra, Ella Mae Morse, Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting. The Mellowaires also made two three flash “soundies” in 1942, “Cocktails For Two” with Bob Hughes and “LullabyIn Swing” on their own, copies of which are in the UCLA Film and Television Archives.
Every listing benefit of them faithful gives the group’s honour and, so miserly, nil of the curators at the libraries that domicile the papers of Johnny Mercer, Dave Dexter, Jr., Jo Stafford and Paul Weston’s collections, who exceedingly went all into the open air to search, father been acceptable to stalk down the group’s roster. Any heave up exalt identifying anyone in this series would be much appreciated.
