[78-L] Surviving dance orchestra vocalists

[Taylor Bowie]

She was not a big time name,  but my friend Sally King who lives here in the 
Seattle area worked for MCA in 1944-45 and did tours of one-nighters with 
both the Bernie Cummins and the Jack Teagarden bands...she's on at least one 
Teagarden track on an Armed Forces Transcription.  Her label credit is some 
professional name invented by MCA but it's Sally...I've heard it.

Didn't Gloria de Haven also sing with a band or am I dreaming about that?
