>        Pvt. Cecil Gant, the G.I. Sing-Sation, died at age 37, in 1951,
> while touring in his native Tennessee.  His obit mentions that he had
> recently recorded with Red Foley, but doesn't mention the title of the
> tracks.  (

>        Gant had just joined Decca, where Foley had been recording for at
> least a decade.  I can see that several sides were released posthumously
> by Decca and many other labels, but I can't see their duet listed
> anywhere.  Does anyone recognize a Foley collaboration in the list of
> Deccas below?  Or was it a case of Gant's disc dieing with him?
>        Also, Decca seems to have re-issued his first hit (I wonder /
> Cecil's boogie) in 1957.  Was this a remake from 1950/51, or a lease of
> the earlier Gilt-Edge recording?
