Description

Vintage transcription record for radio show. Senator Frankenstein Fishface: comedy mixed with political commentary.

Elmore Vincent started in radio at KJR in Seattle in 1929, when he was 21. He belonged to the in-house variety show crew called the "Mardi Gras Gang" and earned a reputation as the sweet tenor “Northwest Shanty Boy,” singing lumberjack songs with yodel arrangements. During spare moments he worked up a comedy routine based on his word-mangling “Senator Fishface.” NBC, which bought KJR in 1934, loved the act and persuaded Vincent to move to San Francisco to join a nationally broadcast variety act. Vincent insisted on opportunities to sing on other shows as well and gained even more exposure. Meanwhile, his Fishface routine was such a hit that he was asked to bring it to one of the earliest TV broadcasts, in 1937.
B side is Richard Leibert.
Produced by NBC Thesaurus. Recorded, Processed and Manufactured by RCA.
