Show POSTWAR SINATRA We've been hearing about one Sergeant Ser-geant Johnny Desmond who sings with the American Flying Band of the Supreme Allied Command, better bet-ter known as the Glenn Miller band (the name continues even though your beloved Glenn has been miss-ing'since miss-ing'since December). In Paris they call him "Le Cremair" because of his creamy crooning. There's even a French fan club that calls itself "Les Bobby Sockers" and they certainly cer-tainly do some OO-La-La-ing and French squealing over Johnny when he sings swoon songs like "I'll Be Seeing You." Lots of radio and music mu-sic experts say that Johnny will be the Postwar Sinatra so watch out for him. Like Frank, Johnny is of Italian parentage. His family runs a grocery store in Detroit. He started start-ed out as a tenor, billed as the "Italian "Ital-ian John McCormack," but he turned baritone overnight. When he makes the Hit Parade, you can remember re-member that you first heard of him in this column. |
