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

[Taylor Bowie]

Jeez,  I may be imagining things....here in Seattle today it actually hit an 
all-time record of 103 and I don't do well in heat.

There is a Decca of the song with Hackett very audible...I thought it was 
Mae...

>> Dear all,
>> Since the beginning of 1999 I write about my passion for 78's on my
>> website www.radionostalgia.nl. It is called Jan's 78 RPM Record Warehouse
>> and it is based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Every now and then, when I
>> have sufficient time, I build a new 'floor' for this website.
>> At the moment I am working at the tenth floor and one of the records I
>> want to include is the more than 2 millionseller 'On the good ship
>> Lollipop', recorded by Mae Questel (or Questal, as it is written on the
>> label of the British release). As you all probably know was Mae the voice
>> of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl, a.o.
>> Although there were more than 2 million copies sold, I am not able to 
>> find
>> details on the recording date and place and I am wondering if one of you
>> will be helpfull in this matter. I only found that it was Victor Young's
>> orchestra which had quite some interesting musicians in the early 30's.
>> So I would be very greatful if somebody could help me out.
>> Thank you in advance,
