The RCA Victor Recordings of Benny Goodman Part 3




Big Band Bash show

Summary: On Part Three of the Complete RCA Victor recordings of Benny Goodman, we start with the last recording that Helen Ward sang with the band. Benny used a few substitutes while he was looking for Helen's replacement so we'll hear a number by each of those vocalists. Then at the end of the program I have included the first couple of numbers that Martha Tilton recorded with the band. Also, it was during this time in 1937 that Benny recorded one of his biggest hits, it was called Sing, Sing, Sing. We'll hear the whole commercial recording which took up both sides of a 78 rpm record. I hope you are enjoying these recordings from the 8 double album set of RCA Victor recordings released by RCA in the mid 1970's.
