MilesArcher Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Yes, Betty Hutton's sister, Marion, was a big band singer. I'm surprised that you didn't get this one yet, Princess. The Nicholas Brothers are also featured. Link to post Share on other sites

But my mom had this song on a 78 record, I think with The Andrews Sisters , so I really should have recognized it immediately. "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren. It's a real "pipperoo" of a song and thanks for the clues. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 You are correct, Princess. In this clip you will see Marion Hutton with Tex Beneke and the Modernaires singing with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. For the movie, the band also included Cesar Romero, Jackie Gleason, and George Montgomery. The Nicholas Brothers do a terrific dance routine. OK, Princess. You're up next. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

starliteyes Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The song is You Go to My Head written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie. I'm not aware that it's from any movie, although I did hear it played in the background of some movie I watched recently of which I can't recall the title. Link to post Share on other sites

It's played in a film called "Corrina Corrina " and the version is quite special as it's by Louis Armstrong singing and playing with jazz pianist Oscar Peterson. And you know why I like this song so much. Star, it's your turn-- Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I do know why you like it so much. I also like it so much that I included it in one of the cabaret acts I did back when I was doing that. Next: I'll roam the town in hopes that we'll meet 1 Link to post Share on other sites
