[78-L] Buddy Clark / Mark Stevens

[Taylor Bowie]

Oh You Beautiful Doll is a very enjoyable movie as well...bio of Fred 
Fisher.

Seven Days Leave is pretty good as well, with one outstanding song and 
performance.  Ginny Simms singing "Can't Get Out of This Mood."  My...that 
is a treat to see and hear!  I love the Kay Kyser record of that tune,  as 
well as Sarah Vaughn's later version.
