An “All-Birthday” Edition of RRR #1220 December 3, 2023

Lee Morse

Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t not tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

Do you know who this lovely lady is? She’s Lena Corrine Taylor. You know her better as singer Lee Morse and hers is just one of FIVE birthday salutes on this week’s “all-birthday” edition of the show. Along with Lee, you’ll hear about–and from–George Fairman, Henry Fillmore, Irwin Dash and Charles L. Johnson. Not exactly household names, even among vintage music enthusiasts but all with interesting histories and some great music. So set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era.
