[78-L] Betty and Bob

[L78rpm at aol.com]

"Bob and Betty" are vocalists on Crown 3251: "Sing a Song of Contract", a  
song about contract bridge composed by Sigmund Spaeth.  Whether they are  
the same people, I do not know.  Their last names are not given.

Lawdy,  lawdy, I've just discovered the worst big band vocalists ever. Vido 
Musso  and his Orchestra, on a Keystone transcription (the cutting looks 
like  
MacGregor), with BOB STEVENS, who makes Will Oakland sound like Paul  
Robeson, 
and BETTY VAN, who can't pronounce the letter "r" or any other  consonants 
or 
vowels and is adenoidal to boot. Anybody ever heard of these  characters in 
any 
other context? Did Vido get a record date and just grab  two people off the 
street? The songs are pretty awful too (and sound  sight-read).
