I recently obtained a few rare episodes of this rare comedy-variety series with the Incomprable Hildegarde. In this post, we give a spin to program 17 in the series as it was heard on the Armed Forces Radio Network. The show was originally broadcast as "The Raleigh Room" on May 15, 1945 on NBC.
Hildegarde's first song on the show is "Who?". Patsy Kelly tries to get a date with Xavier Cugat and Clifton Webb gives her some advice, putting in a few plugs for his new movie, "Laura". Hildegarde and Cugat sing "Take It Easy", with lyrics making fun of Patsy's man-chasing. In the cast are Hildegarde, Patsy Kelly, guests Xavier Cugat and Clifton Webb, and Harry Sosnik and His Orchestra. The show was transferred from original AFRS vinyl transcription, matrix numbers HD5-MM-7476-1 and HD5-MM-7477-1, probably pressed by RCA. Date is also on the transcription matrix.
