When Radio Ruled #69 - Phil Harris and his Orchestra 1938


Listen Later

The Jack Benny show made Phil a huge star. Even though Phil would go on to do more films and have his own radio shows, and tour the country with his band, and appear on television and build a real estate empire he would always be known first and foremost for his Jack Benny years.

What you are about to hear are a series of musical selections Phil and his orchestra played live on Jack Benny’s Jello program in 1938.

Some are instrumentals and some feature Phil’s distinctive vocals, but all of them bring a joy and a bounce that will carry you through your day. So much fun to listen to. Enjoy Phil Harris and his orchestra playing live from 1938.
