[78-L] Mae Questel, the Betty Boop girl

[Taylor Bowie]

Somewhere along the line "somebody" told me that the accomp. on Lollipop 
included Pletcher and Norvo.  Certainly there are jazz people on a number of 
Questel Deccas,  as I recall Bobby Hackett on I Want You For Christmas.  The 
trumpet work on Lollipop is excellent.

Lollipop was popular enough that it was reissued on a plain blue label Decca 
later on.
