Stars Sing for Chief As Record Ban Ends
New York December 15 piano playing President Truman will receive a Christmas record marking the end of Petrillo’s six month recording ban. A million dollar cast of opera and popular singers performs “I’m Wild About Harry” under conductor James Petrillo. The five year agreement creates a welfare fund funded by royalties, managed by trustee Samuel R Rosenbaum, to hire unemployed musicians for public concerts.
