Happy Halloween!



Happy Halloween!


In keeping with the situation, here's a record specifically about Halloween!

It's Country Washburne and his Orchestra with "Trick or Treat" from 1953 on Russell Records:



Pretty fun!

I'm presuming that vocalist Marilyn King was the youngest of the singing King Sisters. She wasn't one of the core four sisters popular in the 1940s, but was a member of the King Family ensemble from the 1960s.

And duet partner Mack McLean must be the session vocalist who was a member of the Six Hits and a Miss vocal group.

Country Washburne is well-known to me for his work as vocalist/bassist/tuba player with Ted Weems and his brilliant arrangements for Spike Jones and Red Ingle!

Russell Records was a specialty label that mainly seems to have produced records for dance routines and such, usually with no artist credit.

This record is unusual as it features something of a name artist and has an original pop song.

That being said, the flipside is a longer instrumental version of the tune:



I guess you would use that as the backing for your own fun Halloween routine!

Have a great day!
