Martha Raye had a fine figure and the best legs in Hollywood and could sing in the jazz genre with the best of them.

I met Maggie in Vietnam. She will always be my personal link to Hollywood's Golden Age.

I always respected and admired Martha Raye for her enormous contribution to show business, and to the U. S. Troops!!! I saw her do "Hello, Dolly!", and she was brilliant, as always!

I too, met Martha Raye in Vietnam. A kinder, sweeter Woman never walked the Earth, & She will always be a hero to me.

Thanks for posting this video. I had the opportunity to see Martha Raye in Everybody Loves Opal and 4 Girls 4. She was so great.
