You probably have your answer by now. However, on the chance you do not, Alice was married to Tony Martin from 1937 to 1940. She married Phil Harris a year later and they were married until his death in 1995. Tony Martin was later married to Cyd Charisse.
I was born during a rehearsal of the Phil Harris-Alice Faye show. My uncle was the musical director and he, Phil and his special guest Jack Benny drove my mother to the hospital. The show was a classic of smart humor. There has never been a sitcom quite like it and Franky Remley is an absolute original. God love you Uncle Phil.
I have been hooked on the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show for some time and I listen to them repeatedly finding something new to laugh at every time...It is like how one can watch the Honeymooners or Andy Griffith endlessly and never tire of it! And lets give a nod to two supporting cast members of the Harris-Faye show that helped make it so hilarious, the great Elliott Lewis (Frankie Remley) and Walter Tetley (Julius Abbruzzio)!
I was amazed by the first pic. Phil Harris was a favorite of mine since the 1940's and its the only pic I ever saw of him "serious", without that trademark grin! Thanks for the memories.
Radio Spirits started releasing previously uncirculated episodes of the Phil Harris-Alica Faye show a year ago in 10-CD sets, particularly the later seasons between 1950-54 when the show was sponsored by RCA Victor. The earlier seasons between 1948-50 under Rexall Drugs sponsorship is entirely intact.
Garnering more admirers under the auspices of XM Radio Channel 164. Their style of entertainment exceeds most of what passes for entertainment in the present day. Certainly more intelligent and witty. Alice & Phil; Thanks for the memories.
Guess I'll have to get XM Radio. One thing sorely missed in today's 'entertainment' is style..some of the other missing ingredients are decency, class...and talent.
'opelske'; I do have XM Radio as stated previously, 200 channels or so and I listen to Greg Bell's Radio Classics; that is how XM brands channel 164; about 80% of the time. The wit, the polish and the intelligence of that station is a big draw for me.
Long live the memory, and the admirers, of Phil and Alice!
Any post with Phil Harris can't be bad. GREAT post. Thanks so much. I listen to Phil and Alice all the time on my Old Time Radio cassettes at night as I drift off to sleep. Thanks again.
Brings a tear to my eye. Jackson was the greatest radio personality EVER, but his star shown extra bright because of Mr. Phil Harris! A true comedic genius! Thanks for sharing!!!
Enjoyed this....Got into these two listening to Sirius Radio's old time radio station. The Jack Benny Show and Phil Harris and Alice Faye's program. Phil was a hoot! Hope they're never forgotten.
"Rose Room" did eventually become the theme of Phil & Alice's 1946-'54 radio "sitcom" (originally heard at the end of each episode, as their opening theme from 1946 through '51 was "Sunday").
junesman, Thanks very much for answering me. I live in Rome Italy but am from New York. Where do you live?
