When
Martha
Tilton
sang
with
Benny
Goodman
she
was
initially
billed
as
the
Sweetheart
of
Swing
before
becoming
better
known
affectionately
as
The
Liltin
Miss
Tilton.
Goodman
kept
Martha
busy
and
between
October
1937
and
the
summer
of
1939
Goodman
placed
in
excess
of
thirty
recordings
on
the
American
Top
20
of
which
Marthas
vocals
featured
on
27
tracks
including
two
chart-toppers.
To
crown
it
all,
Martha
performed
with
the
band
in
the
historically
triumphant
Carnegie
Hall
concert
in
January
1938
that
inspired
the
1955
Hollywood
bio-pic
Benny
Goodman
Story.
Martha
played
herself
in
the
movie.
After
leaving
Goodman
Martha
signed
with
the
newly
founded
Capitol
Records
as
a
solo
artist
and
had
the
honour
of
being
the
first
artist
signed
to
them.
Capitol
masters
#1
&
#2
are
recordings
by
Martha.
Martha
stayed
with
Capitol
for
six
years
where
she
achieved
eight
chart
entries.
She
began
a
new
contract
with
Coral
Records
in
early
1950.
Martha
recorded
a
total
of
forty
sides
with
Coral
and
we
have
cherry-picked
the
twenty
seven
tracks
here
ready
for
re-discovery.
Most,
if
not
all,
are
appearing
on
CD
for
the
very
first
time.
Tracks
include
Ill
Always
Love
You,
the
novelty
I
Said
My
Pajamas,
two
numbers
with
Brazilian
classical
and
jazz
guitarist
Laurindo
Almeida
-Miserlou
the
Almeida
composed
The
Happy
Bird,
and
a
song
with
Les
Brown,
Few
And
Far
Between.
Martha
died
in
Brentwood,
California
on
December
8,
2006.
