BETTY HUTTON

Command Performance
was a radio show broadcast over the Armed Forces Radio Network to the troops overseas.
Each week, it featured music and skits from top names in entertainment and was usually emceed by Bob Hope or Jack Benny.

One of my favorites to be featured was Betty Hutton.
I didn't appreciate her work until I really saw and understood how versatile she was.

Betty Hutton was a song and dance actress known for her endless energy and outgoing personality.
She was very popular on radio and in the movies
in the 40s and 50s, because of the musical styles back then,
but then faded from view and died pretty much in obscurity just a few years ago.

Betty Hutton was underrated, IMHO,
considering that she was extremely talented and
gave triple in every performance as you'll see in the videos.

I'm posting three of Betty Hutton's best from the 40s,
and I hope you'll appreciate her as much as I do—for her talent and for giving her all during the war.

Here are :
Murder, He Says, Stuff Like That There and Plain Jane Doe.
