She holds the distinction of being the first female non-classical music singer to perform at Carnegie Hall. She sang with the Benny Goodman Band there, in fact, I do believe she sang this song on stage there. A nice singer who had some great legs!
What a swingin' performance. Her voice truely is lilting! Thanks for posting; more people will know her and how talented she really was. She deserves the exposure to a new generation.
Wow, I just don't picture skirts like that in 1941! It's great we have video like this! She was a great singer and seems like a sweet girl. My best to her family.
I keep coming back to this cause it's a guy pleaser on so many levels. The lovely leggy Miss Tilton flirting with the kilt wearers and the mini kilted high stepping dancers.
I know one thing for sure - it's a shame this is not the version she (the same Martha Tilton) did with Benny Goodman Orchestra (eh, a much better band) back in 1938 - that was the definitive version for Ms. Tilton, for sure. Also, not done too shabbily by Maxine Sullivan, who also had a hit with it.
Anyone know the name of that tune that plays over the opening credits of the Soundie? Sounds traditional and famous, but I don't know what it's called.
You're right about her expressions. She would have been great in Hollywood. She was sexier and happier than the Doris Day. Maybe Doris could act better.
Better than than Mildred Bailey? Better than Ella Fitzgerald? Better than Sarah Vaughan? Better than Jo Stafford?Better than Chris Connor? Better than Billie Holiday?
I never realized that Martha Tilton was so beautiful! I have always loved to hear sing, but she also delivers in the looks department too! WOW!!

Thank you so much for posting this classic. The jazzy rendition is just to die for. Love Martha, so smooth, like silk!
Great Martha, the first singer I loved when I was a child.
Thanks for posting this beautiful document!
lovely old tunes!
"Liltin'" Martha Tilton! I knew she had a great voice, but until now didn't know about the great legs!
She does a good job. The best version, by far, is done by a little girl on the Follies of 1938 episode of Our Gang. She's amazing!

Legs that go up to the sky!

Her facial expression change at :45-50 is more sexy than any hip gyrating from Madonna to Rihanna. Drives me wild ha

Does anyone know what the tune playing at the beginning of the film is? Scottish, I assume.
A very, very pretty girl.
@saferwaters Looks more like spinach on the lower jaw
