Supernice gal with a stunning voice. Plus the stunning six girl ballet in the middle of the clip. Someone who needs more on a day like this?

If you like, check out my little site with lots of jazz & swing sounds. Link is in my profile.

Thanks a lot for the splendid vid & See you,

Martha was wonderful. She has the distinction of being the first non-classical singer to perform in Carnegie Hall doesn't she, when she did it with Benny Goodman in what 1936 or 1938 or so? I love this music. I just got the double CD "Liltin' Martha Tilton". I hihly recommend it to anyone who is a fan.

I only heard about Martha Tilton from You Tube. She's wonderful, check out her other stuff, she's even ina few films too.

[dayfan1962]

What a swingin' performance. Her voice truely is lilting! Thanks for posting; more people will know her and how talented she really was. She deserves the exposure to a new generation.

[USRoute66]

I never realized that Martha Tilton was so beautiful! I have always loved to hear sing, but she also delivers in the looks department too! WOW!!

[MikeHudson65]

I'd never heard of this lady before recently and now I cna't get nough of her. Thanks for posting these 'soundies' I love them Specially 'A Little Jive Is Good For You'

[Ayrshiree]

Thank you for the post.

You commented:

"Geez, It's hard to get enough of this!"

Boy, I'm with you on that ... just pure magical ..

I wish there were more (than the few there are) Martha Tilton clips on YT ...

I also wish someone could post anything with Helen Ward ... another of Benny Goodman's great lady vocalists. But I haven't found any.

Geez, It's hard to get enough of this!

[RivenrockGardens]

Wow, I just don't picture skirts like that in 1941! It's great we have video like this! She was a great singer and seems like a sweet girl. My best to her family.

[Barndancer61]

Actually, the best version is by Martha and her 1936 RCA Victor record with the Goodman Orchestra. Not so fast as this but it swings with a better lilt and orchestration.

[LadyPictureShow721]

She does a good job. The best version, by far, is done by a little girl on the Follies of 1938 episode of Our Gang. She's amazing!

[PhillySouth]

I know one thing for sure - it's a shame this is not the version she (the same Martha Tilton) did with Benny Goodman Orchestra (eh, a much better band) back in 1938 - that was the definitive version for Ms. Tilton, for sure. Also, not done too shabbily by Maxine Sullivan, who also had a hit with it.

"Liltin'" Martha Tilton! I knew she had a great voice, but until now didn't know about the great legs!

[sofens]

wonderful
