Ginny SIMMSI'd Like To Set You To Music
Now it all seems so long ago. How many folks
are still around who can remember first-hand the great era of the big bands? The
atmosphere in the dance halls must have been electrifying, to hear and see in
person a band hitherto only heard through the loudspeaker of a radio or coming
out of the grooves of a phonograph record. It wasn't just the bands that were
exciting - there were the girl and boy singers, but particularly the girls. The
three Helens, Forrest, Ward and O'Connell, Peggy Lee, Edythe Wright, Frances
Langford, Marion Hutton, Rosemary Clooney and Bea Wain were just a few. Bob
Hope, who had worked with many lovely girls, enthused about another after she
had sung on a "Command Performance" radio programme for U.S. Service personnel:
"Oh! that was beautiful, and you're mighty beautiful too" - then amidst wild
applause declared, "Oh, you're really pretty." He was speaking of Ginny Simms.
Well, Ginny certainly was an eyeful!.
