When Radio Ruled #127 - Wynn Murray Sings 1939
from How To Travel Full-Time · host BeforeTV
17 year old Wynn Murray already had two Broadway hits on her resume when she joined The Fred Allen show as the resident Female Vocalist in 1939. Fred Allen's decision to bring a famous female vocalist onto his show in 1939 was a recognition that female singers were now in vogue. Singers like Connie Boswell on the Good News Program, and Charlie McCarthy's Dorothy LaMour were part of their show's ratings success.Those Shows broadcast from Hollywood so those singers came from the film industry. Fred Allen broadcast from New York City so he had access to Broadway Talent, and Wynn Murray was one of New York Theater's most promising young shining stars. SONGS: Sing For Your Supper Great Day Johnny One Note Comes Love I didn't know what time it was Blow Gabriel Blow The Man with the Mandolin What's New Stop it's Wonderful Stormy Weather
