We begin our look at the life and career of vocalist Maxine Gray. Text from Internet sources including Wikipedia and OTRCAT.COM: Although little-known beyond fans of Big Band Music and OTR, Maxine Gray's story is filled with survival and even success despite nearly crippling injuries and long odds. We will have future cameos of Maxine Gray but this first episode includes her recording of "Boom" with the Hal Kemp orchestra. (April 19, 1939)
