YOUR HIT PARADE, 1941

#9 – Vaughn Monroe: “Racing With the Moon”

Vaughn Wilton Monroe (1911-73) was yet another Ohio boy. He graduated from high school in Pennsylvania in 1929 where he was senior class president and voted "most likely to succeed." He lived up to that name. He attended Carnegie in Pittsburgh and then the New England Conservatory studying voice. He formed his first band in Boston in 1940, became its principal vocalist, and was signed by RCA Victor.

Monroe was tall and handsome, which helped him as a band leader and singer, as well as in Hollywood. He was called "the Baritone with Muscles", "the Voice with Hair on its Chest", and "Ol' Leather Tonsils".

This was his signature tune.
