Song Of The Day #015

Mildred "Millie" and Dorothy "Dolly" Good were born in 1913 & 1915 respectively. There is some disagreement on where they were actually born, but they claimed to be from Muleshoe, Texas. Their stage name was Girls Of The Golden West. When Dolly was only 14 they got their first radio gig on WIL in St. Louis. In 1933 they became regulars on the WLS Barn Dance, which led to guest appearances on the syndicated Rudy Vallee show, which in turn led to their recording contract with Bluebird. They were very popular during the 30's & 40's and were one of the few female acts in country music at that time.

While not containing today's selection, a good sampling of their mid-thirties recordings for Bluebird & Vocalion can be found on their cd Roll Along Prairie Moon.

Today's selection is My Love Is A Rider, Bluebird 5752.
