Charlie Barnet Orchestra - with June Christie - 1957 USMC Recruiting Show

Published: Nov. 17, 2021, 11:02 p.m.

We begin with "Redskin Rhumba" which was Charlie Barnet's theme song. Jimmy Wallington is the host and introduces the first song "Lumby." June Christie is the vocalist and sings "I'll Take Romance". There is some banter as the show was sponsored by Treasury Dept. to help recruit men for the United States Marine Corps in the 1957. The music continues with the Orchestra playing "Pennies From Heaven" featuring Charlie on saxophone. June Christie sings "I Want To Be Happy" and the Orchestra closes the show with Redskin Rhumba... This track will be stored in the "Big Band / Jazz Sounds" Playlist.
