Your Hit Parade - Russell Arms - Many Times 10/17/1953

[waynebrasler]

A now-forgotten hit for Eddie Fisher. Russell Arms is doing his best to channel Fisher.

I just met Russell Arms tonight at our Christmas Show. He is a delight- even at 90!!!

What a treasure! And still handsome!

I watched the show often when I was a teenager and always especially liked

Russell Arms and June Valli -- although the other singers were also wonderful.

i remember his hit on the radio called 'Cinco Robles'. Id really like to hear it again, but can't locate it.

Great post.

Thanks.

Nice to hear Russell again. I used to watch

"Your Hit Parade" when I was a teen, more than half a century ago.

Never saw any records by Russell or Snookie.

Giselle made several records for RCA and Capitol. I think she had the best voice.

Saw her in the 60s on stage. She was touring

the country in "The King and I."

The announcer was..Andre Barouche

[VideosTimes2]

Yes, Andre was on every Hit Parade show, with the exception of a few. I have one video where he isn't annoucing and it seems odd not to hear him. Andre appeared on Hit Parade tributes in later years with the show's stars like Gisele MacKenzie!

Crosley Electronics {"See it on a Crosley"} was the "alternate sponsor" of the series with American Tobacco's "Lucky Strike" during this period...

[fromthesidelines]

"YOUR HIT PARADE" was on Saturday nights at 10:30pm(et) on NBC, directly following Sid Caesar's "YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS" from 1950 through 1954...then it was on after "THE GEORGE GOBEL SHOW" from '54 through '57...

A top-level Eddie Fisher song. This is a fine rendition.
