Del Sharbutt owns that friendly, deep voice you hear introducing "Amos 'n' Andy." It is almost disloyal to poke fun at a voice that has made him about the highest paid announcer on the air, but Del says, "I talk like I'm standing under a ram barrel, but people seem to like that sort of sound, so put me down as lucky." Besides a sense of humor, Del has a beautiful wife, two fine kids, a battered set of golf clubs, a bungalow on California's Toluca Lake, some fruit trees and a Hammond organ, which he shipped all the way from his New York apartment. How he acquired all these things is the story you want to know. It begins in a place called Cleburne, Texas, where he was born just 31 years ago. His father was a minister and Del's first job was that of janitor in his father's church — at $4 a week. He was happy as a janitor, but his father wanted him to study Law, so he attended Texas Christian University. There, he earned his way through school by playing and singing with a dance band. Later, he joined the staff of station WBAP, in Fort Worth. Del was a one man radio station, singing, acting and announcing at $25 per week. After several years of working stations all over the Southwest, he ended up at $19 a week. Not satisfied with this progress in reverse, he went to Chicago and, after starving for two weeks, took a job singing in a Presbyterian Church. There he met a man who steered him into his first break as an announcer on Chicago's station, WJJD. Del stuck at that for a year and a half, then came to New York. He arrived without a single contact and, three days later, beat out 50 competitors for an important job at CBS. Three years later, he began to free lance his talents to such top notch programs as Ray Noble, Bob Hope, Song Shop, Hobby Lobby, Myrt and Marge, Ask it Basket, Lanny Ross and now, Amos 'n' Andy. Del's wife is Meri-Bell, once famous as a radio singer, who retired after they were married. They were introduced by her accompanist, Hal Huffer, and Del invited them both up to his apartment, where they listened to hot records (Del's favorite pastime) and Meri-Bell sang for him. They didn't see each other again for a year, because Meri-Bell went on a vaudeville tour. When she returned, she called Del to say, "Hello," and he invited her to dinner. They had dinner together every night for two months straight. Then, she went on tour again. Her first stop was Plymouth, Massachusetts. Del saw pictures in the papers of snow drifts eight feet high in Plymouth, so he called her and said, "Honey, why don't you stop freezing to death and come back here and marry me?" She did. Now there is a Meri-Dell, aged four, and Richard, who is two and a half.
