- Martha Tilton was an American popular singer during America's swing era.
Tilton was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her family moved to Edna, Kansas, when she was three months old. They relocated to Los Angeles when she was seven. While attending Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, she was singing on a small radio station when she was heard by an agent who signed her and began booking her with larger stations. She then dropped out of school in the eleventh grade to join Hal Grayson's band. After singing with the quartet Three Hits and a Miss, she joined the Myer Alexander Chorus on Benny Goodman's radio show, Camel Caravan. Goodman hired Tilton as a vocalist with his band in August 1937. She was with Goodman in January 1938, when the band performed at Carnegie Hall. She continued to appear as Goodman's star vocalist until the end of 1939. She had a #1 hit with Benny Goodman's recording of "And the Angels Sing" in 1939.

Listen to the arrangement, must be Fletcher Henderson. I have 11 of the Manhattan broadcasts from the end of 1937. The best live I have from BG.
Benny et Martha sont brillants!
Thanks!
As always Walter ... my pleasure
Bulls eye with this one Barry!!!
Great post, thanks for putting it together and sharing.
Great post, Barry. If you've got anymore rare Goodman broadcasts, bring 'em on. Bravo!
I have a bunch of Goodman broadcasts ... circa 1936 & 1937. Quality is not the greatest. But, I'll post ... you decide.
@@barrymichaels8997 Yeah....would love to hear them if it's not too much trouble. Thanks! BTW, love the early Glenn Miller airshots. Wonder if you have anything from 1937 when Irving Fazola was on the band. If you don't, no sweat.
Thank you for sharing this excellent post.
