py and as tasty as a bopsicle! ( Capitol) . . . CHARLEY BARNETT'S got an airy new canary in his cage — Trudy Richards — who emits beautifully on her first two tallows — '"Gloomy Sunday" and "Easy Livin'," and it's no mere coincidence these are Billie Holiday's babies — 'cause Trudy's on that kick — and is that bad! "'Be Bop Spoken Here" — with Davie Lambert and Buddy Stewart — is on back of one and "O'Henry" covers the other — with Bunny Briggs transfixing you like Ulysses was by the siren! ( Capitol) . . . FROM THE MAN IN GRAY! FLORENCE EDWARDS, Grand Ledge, Michigan — Dennis Morgan doesn't make records but Bob Mitchum did — the songs from "Rachel And The Stranger." He sings very well, too, has a rich, baritone larynx something like Bing's. It's in Decca album A 695 .. . LUCILLE GRANET, Brooklyn, N. Y.— Jane Powell did some cookies for MGM records. Try your local jump dump . . . LOUISE CARTER, Paducah, Texas— Artie Shaw's doing concert work and writing books. Has no plans for another dance band — but may be looking for another wife. Are you interested? . . . DON ALEXANDER, ST. LOUIS, MO.— The opening music in "Cry Of The City" was probably original music especially for the film and like so much wonderful original material never gets recorded and dies with the film . . . TEDDY DAMBROSKI, KANSAS CITY, MO.— Betty Grable made a record wTith hubby Harry under the name of Ruth Haag — -"You'll Never Know" . . . JOANNE MARQUETTE, PORTLAND. OREGON— Same deal. Whatever Margaret Lockwood played in "A Woman Surrenders" has gone with the film. Tragic — but we agree movie music should be recorded for permanent pleasure, as some scores are, of course, but not enough . . . ROSALIE NAVONE, GALLUP, NEW MEXICO — Bob Hannon made some records for Apollo. . . . BEST IN THE NEST SOUTH PACIFIC— Columbia album with original cast. (Columbia — regular and LP) MEL TORME— "You're Getting To Be A Habit" and "There Isn't Any Special Reason" (Capitol ) BUDDY CLARK AND DINAH SHORE; MARGARET WHITING AND JOHNNY MERCER— "Baby It's Cold Outside" (Columbia and Capitol) FRANK SINATRA — "It Happens Every Spring" (Columbia) NAT COLE— "Lush Life" (Capitol) BILLY ECKSTINE — "A New Shade Of Blues" (MGM) GORDON MACRAE AND JO STAFFORD—"My One And Only Highland Fling" (Capitol) FRED ASTAIRE— "You'd Be Hard To Replace" (MGM) JO STAFFORD AND DAVE LAMBERT—"Jolly Jo" and "Smiles" (Capitol) ELLA FITZGERALD — "Lover's Gold" (Decca) looKs.. ^ and lus TANGEE ■»j£,5r man-hunting cious . . .iaeai U™ h ie encouragement. mmance to anything less Don't trust your romance w thanlangee!
