Martha Tilton (Benny Goodman) - Bei Mir Bist Du Schön (12-18-1937) Madhattan Room.

Benny Goodman 's songstress at the Hotel Pennsylvania.

"...Although her most popular recording with Goodman was And The Angels Sing her first session with the bandleader produced a recording of Bob White (What Cha Gonna Swing Tonight) that has a little more zip to it. However, her short vocal on a Goodman Quartet recording of Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen was her greatest Goodman jazz record. Although many jazz discographies do not list the session, the recording was waxed in December of 1937 in two parts, taking up 2 sides of a 78-RPM record. Trumpeter Ziggy Elman was added to the Quartet on side 2 along with Tilton's vocal..."

Martha Tilton was probably best known as Benny Goodman's songstress.
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, he placed in excess of thirty recordings on the American Top 20 of which Martha's vocals were featured on 27 tracks including two chart-toppers.
