This is the first time I've seen Martha Tilton. She is so sweet. I love her voice.

@funkstagazza Wasn't it, though? I just can't get enough, especially the vocal groups like Six Hits and a Miss...

COLONNA, JERRY(1905-1987)

Character actor -- distinguished by a walrus-like mustache, pop-eyed expression, and complete zaniness. Colonna was a long-time sidekick of Bob Hope as a supporting player in his radio, television, and USO shows. Yehudi. This refers to classical violinist Yehudi Menunin, apparently, Colonna, not knowing who Yehudi was, asked the cast of the radio show, who didn’t know either. The search for the mythical Yehudi became a running gag and, eventually a popular song.
