The scrumptious Kitty Lane made some fine sides with Glenn Miller's first 
band in 1937.
"My Fine Feathered Friend"  Br 8034
"Doin' The Jive"  Br 8052
"Silhouetted In The Moonlight" Br 8034
"Every Day's A Holiday" Br 8041
"Sweet Stranger" Br 8041
She was a very fine band singer and one of my very favorites in that august 
group of "white goddesses."
(Thank you Will Friedwald for that very apt appelation from his excellent 
book "Jazz Singing")
