I can remember seeing Sophie Tucker on Ed Sullivan when I was about eight or 
nine...I was totally amazed and enjoyed it very much...and that first 
impression later got me interested in her old records when I started 
collecting at age 12.

The first I recall of Chevalier was seeing the movie Can-Can when I was 
about seven or eight...same thing.  I thought he was great and I still 
collect his stuff along with Sophie's!
