HARRY BABBITT
Candid color photo (4x6) of the former lead singer of Kay Kyser's
band.
Inscribed photograph signed: "To Clint:/Thanks,/Harry Babbitt",
in blue felt tip. Color, 4x6. Singer and actor Harry Babbitt
(1913-2004) is best known for lending his rich baritone and high-pitched
falsetto vocals to a number of hits, including "Three Little Fishes", "On
a Slow Boat to China", "Jingle, Jangle, Jingle", "White Cliffs of Dover"
and "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth", as well as providing
the voice of Woody Woodpecker on Kay Kyser's version of the song.
Babbitt, who joined Kyser's band in 1938, remained with the group (except during
a brief stint in the U.S. Navy, 1944-1946) until 1949. During that time, he was
a regular on Kyser's radio program and appeared in seven films
with the bandleader. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso. Fine
condition.
