Johnny Desmond, since 1949 STARS For 20 years Breakfast Club has been blessed with vocalists who carry smiles in their hearts as well as in their voices. Dick Teela, a native tenor of Wausau, Wis., was the first to sing for his breakfast. He left for New York in 1934. Jack Owens was heard regularly for the next two years. The Tulsa, Okla. bari¬ tone left the show in 1936 for Hollywood and a song-writing career. He returned again in 1944 to rule as Breakfast Club’s "cruising crooner” until 1949. Since then Owens has lived in California where he has his own radio and television shows. Clark Dennis, the Flint, Mich, tenor, replaced Jack in 1936. He, too, was at¬ tracted to Hollywood after a year. Now he is in New York. Johnny Johnston and Jack Baker shared the vocal honors in 1937. Johnny departed for New York, leaving Baker to carry on until Jack Owens returned in 1944. Johnny Thompson took over while Owens was ill in 1945. Johnny Desmond of Detroit and GI fame became the seventh and current male vocalist on July 25, 1949. He has added new laurels during the last four years in radio, television, theater appearances and across music counters.
