This show comes on CD In MP3 Format
Dennis Day was born in NYC on
May 21, 1916. Born Owen Patrick Eugene McNulty, he was an Irish-American
singer and radio and television personality. Day graduated from St.
Patrick's Cathedral High School, and attended Manhattan College, where he
sang in the glee club. Day appeared for the first time on Jack Benny's
radio show on October 8, 1939, taking the place of another famed tenor,
Kenny Baker. He remained associated with Benny's radio and television
programs until the latter's death in 1974. He was introduced (with an
actress playing his mother) as a young (nineteen year old), naive boy
singer — a character he kept through his whole career. His first song was
"Goodnight My Beautiful".
Besides singing, Dennis Day was an excellent mimic. He did many imitations
on the Benny program of various noted celebrities of the era, such as
Ronald Colman, Jimmy Durante, and Jimmy Stewart. From 1944 through 1946,
he served in the US Navy as a Lieutenant.
On his return to civilian life, he continued to work with Benny while also
starring in his own show, A Day in the Life of Dennis Day (1946-1952), where
he plays a naive soda jerk boarding at the home of the parents of his
girlfriend, Mildred Anderson. The show also show cased Day's beautifully
sung songs, usually two per show. It also let him step out of character in
many of the scenes, which of course, led to some outrageous stories. With excellent performances by Day, Barbara Eiler and John
Brown , plus all the great music, it’s a must to add to your old time
radio collection.
Benny became the frequent butt of jokes on his own show that Day had two
programs compared to Benny's one. His TV series, The Dennis Day Show (aka
The RCA Victor Show) was telecast from 1952 to 1954. Between 1952 and
1978, he made numerous TV appearances as a singer, actor and voice for
animation.
In 1948, Day married Peggy Almquist. The marriage lasted until his death.
The couple had ten children. One of his brothers was wed to actress/singer
Ann Blyth. Dennis Day died of Lou Gehrig's disease at age 72 in Los
Angeles, California on June 22, 1988. His star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame is at 6646 Hollywood Boulevard.
So sit back and enjoy better then 22 hours, in
over 45 episodes, of great performances featuring the wonderful voice of
Dennis Day.
