P.S. -- You're totally right, tenorsfan, "old" chum ;) -- At least those Linda's in the above soundies are indeed one and the very same gal, who is singing mighty fine, by the very big swingin' way!

It's about time I think to comment here, after three years. There was a certain Linda Keene singing in Jack Teagarden's Orchestra from 1939. -- But maybe she was also a "fake". -- Thanks for posting this rarely (or not so rarely?) visited gem.

Thanks too much, concerning "Frankie and Johnny" it was already sung by Mae West in "She done him wrong" (1933), "Ja-da" was played by saxophone by Charles Winninger in "Babes in arms" (1939), look at the fun they made on Liszt. Thanks again.

By the way, that's Alvie Evans on clarinet!

Henry "Hot Lips" Levine has a sweet and easy sound in all 3 video's! Is there any more video's with him and his Dixieland Band?

Henry Levine's jazz band originally appeared on NBC Radio's Sunday afternoon musical program, "THE CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY OF LOWER BASIN STREET", in the early '40s. Dinah Shore was one of their vocalists; so was Linda Keene.

A great trio of Soundies. That's Muggsy Spanier playing trumpet on the second number.

All of Levine's stock vocalists were called Linda Keene. My mother was one of them in '38 & '39. I have the original 78RPM album (or what's left of it)that she cut with them in
'38

I've never heard that before. I think this singer took her stage name after the Astaire Rogers movie and had used it with Glenn Miller, Teagarden, Hackett and Pastor long before she joined Levine in the fourties. Dinah Shore, Lena Horne and Dodie O'Neill were there then but Linda was picked for the records and the soundies. Can you please tell us the name of the record?.
