Recorded
February 20, 1945 (not on the 15th as shown on the album)
for the Armed Forces Radio Service Command Performance, "Dick
Tracy in B-Flat - or For Goodness Sake Isn't he Ever Going
To marry Tess Trueheart?" is one of Judy's most popular,
and most readily available, radio performances. A parody
with Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Jimmy Durante
and more (see cast list below), this show gave Judy a chance
to flex her comedic muscles. You can hear them all cracking
up and having fun throughout the performance.
The show was broadcast on April 19, 1945 or April 29, 1945
depending on which source you believe.
This edition was originally released on LP by Hollywood Soundstage (as well as other companies such as Sandy Hook Records) in
the 1970's.
