The Smoothies sing "In The Shade of the Old Apple Tree"

The Great SMOOTHIES !

Another of those great parody treatments. And great sync. My only complaint about them is not being to hear the lead clearly. The Andrews Sisters, you could always hear the tune.

This is a rare look at a legendary vocal group during the swing & Big Band era. The woman vocalist should be Arlene 'Babs' Johnson. She matches the photo on the cover of the sheet music for 'Playmates' released in 1940.

Researchers: The trio performed on the 'Time To Shine' radio show with the Hal Kemp Orchestra. Alrene is reported to have married Del Sandberg in 1940 and later had 3 children & she is on most of the Bluebird releases.
