The Stardusters were American jazz vocalists. == History == The Stardusters were founded as a male trio in the mid 1930s. Glen Galyon, Curt Purnell, and Dick Wylder had already established themselves in 1936 as the Stardusters, and in 1939, were featured on NBC radio: ''The Vitalis Show, featuring George Jessel and his Celebrated Guests.'' They were also featured in late 1939 and early 1940 with Frank Novak and his Music Creators on the Chiclets program heard over NBC. May McKim — who had been a singer with an orchestra when she met Curt Purnell, married him on August 10, 1936, in Boston, and settled down to a non-professional home life — eventually joined the trio as a permanent member sometime around 1939.〔Earle Farris, ''Right Out Of The Air'', Cleveland Gazette, September 16, 1939〕 May and Curt divorced in August 1941.〔''Arvilla May McKim, Petition for Naturalization'' : Petitions for Naturalization : U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, 1897-1944 : NARA Series: M1972 : Naturalization Record No: 394515 : Roll 1355 : Petition No 394600〕 In 1941, Charlie Spivak hired the group, but added June Hutton. The arrangements featured Hutton backed by the trio. While with Spivak's Orchestra, the Stardusters recorded with Glenn Miller (1941), Jimmy Dorsey (1941), and Jack Teagarden and His Orchestra (1941). The group later went on to record with Billie Holiday (1948) and Stan Kenton (1957). The Stardusters had two notable hits, ''Brother Bill'', and ''This is no Laughing Matter.'' And, they sang backup for the Evelyn Knight's hit, ''A Little Bird Told Me'', Decca Records, which became the subject of a landmark court case over covering. * see ''Federal court case over "covering"'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stardusters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
