[78-L] Radio-influenced recordings

[Stephen Davies]

There was a question earlier about radio culture seeping into recordings of the day, like Harry James' "Life can be beautiful", etc.  The answers mostly involved the song titles.
I'm interested in other manifestations, like Dinah Shore and Dick Todd duetting on Victor because they were both on NBC's "Chamber Music Society Of Lower Basin Street".
And Perry Como recorded with the Satisfiers/Satisfyers, whom I presume were the backing group on his long-running radio show sponsored by Chesterfield cigarettes ("They satisfy!").
And to stretch it a bit, I'm convinced that future duetters Roy Rogers and Dale Evans met on the Edgar Bergen show, the year that Dale was the resident vocalist (1942/43).  They didn't appear in pictures together until 1944, and didn't formalize their relationship until 1947.
