Description
The Mel-Tones - Mel Torme, Bernie Parke, Ginny O'Connor, Betty Beveridge, and Les Baxter sing "Back Home Again in Indiana" in this 1945 Soundie. (Sorry for the print being backwards)
Movie contract restrictions supposedly kept Torme from appearing in this and other 1945 Soundies featuring the group. Blond Bernie Parke lip-syncs Torme's voice. An unknown, dark-haired male stand-in completes the group.
The accompanying jazz quintet features Buddy Cole (later married to Yvonne King of the King Sisters) on Piano, Dave Barbour (later married to Peggy Lee) on guitar, Nick Pelico on Vibes, Phil Stevens, String Bass, and Nick Fatool on drums.
Thanks to Mark Cantor of CantorJazzOnFilm channel on youtube for this title.
