- Tom Snyder hosts a roundtable discussion with Ella Mae Morse, Margaret Whiting, Lina Romay, Kay Starr and very rare video of two singers from an earlier era: Aileen Stanley (sang Broadway Blues for Victor in 1920) and Loyce Whiteman of Coconut Grove fame who is seen at greater length in part 2
An absolutely marvellous reminder of an unforgettable era by six beautiful women
What elegant ladies, speaking about the realities of show business
with such a dignified air.
I hope the singers of today have the same elegance 30 years from now!
God! I loved "The Tomorrow Show" - I watched this every night. This was one of the best talk shows of all time!
Jake Drew Tom Snyder was fantastic.
It was just fun. Dark theatre - no audiences except the grips and Snyder was so down to earth. You can't find a talk show like this anywhere. People always mention Charlie Rose, who I can't stand - he is always answering for his guests. Irritating
Jake Drew I love his voice. I could listen to him read from the phone book....***Sigh*** He was also gorgeous and sexy.
They could have done the whole show on Aileen Stanley. Love her to pieces.
I have always had great respect for Tom Snyder and his interview style. So nice to see some old friends on this interview of great Great Ladies of song. Denny Farrell's award winning radio program The Original Big Band Showcase available to radio stations around the world from Chicago.
An excellent expose! Any lover of the "big Band" era will appreciate this!
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan
Amazing performers.
I'm over the moon for Tom Snyder. He was awesome and really knew how to have real conversations with all types of people.
agreed. he was a great interviewer--low key, empathetic---nobody like that now--they are into their egos!
I was lucky not to long ago and found Aileen Stanley singing Chicago on a 78rpm record and that is my home town so felt very lucky. Love her.
Excellent era. Before my time but love it anyway.
Aileen was such a sweet soul
My word ,,,, how wonderful these programmes are, why havent we seen this before in uk?
Love the Era!!!!!!!
To be pedantic, these singers covered at least two eras. Aileen Stanley the 1910s-1920s, Kay Starr etc from the 1940s onwards. Quite different styles of singing akin to say 1970s vs 1990s.
@@Billy219 Ye I messed up the range of decades, no idea where I got the 1910s from.
wow great moments thanx for sharing :-)

so special!
When class was a thing.
I'm a huge fan of Ella Mae. She was so bright and articulate here.
This is amazing to see.....
Wonderful to see! But we're missing Helen Forrest!
Great show.
Class acts....everyone of them.
Ella Mae still looked terrific!
Soooo. true.....miss Tom
A crush on Ella Mae Morse here. What a beautiful face !
Kay's hair sure looks like a lampshade
Beautiful Ella Mae Morse reminds me of
Agnetha Fältskog.
Where is part 2?
Where is Helen Humes, for example?
No black big-band singers.
Thelma Carpenter sang with Teddy Wilson, Coleman Hawkins and Count Basie.
Helen Humes was singing regularly in 1977, so perhaps could not take leave for this show. Ella - was a superstar by the 1970s compared to the singers here (except maybe Kay Starr), no disrespect.
Duke Ellington featured several females singers. Arguably the best was Ivie Anderson (died 1949). The others were Joya Sherill, Kay Davis, Betty Roche and possible a few more - can't remember the names.
Black people will never get their do.
Kay Starr was my favorite on this interview.
aloooooHA
These record sales figures are way over inflated. Nobody sold over 20 million records in the 1920's. Love these gals, but...
