The Smiley Burnette Show

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This was a radio show that was produced and transcribed in Hollywood, CA in the 1950s. There are about 290 episodes extant. Each short show (made to fit a 15 minute time slot) has songs by The Whippoorwills and "Sweet Georgia Brown" (Juanita Vastine) and, of course Burnette. The announcer is Joe Slattery.
