Includes the wonderfully talented Nan Wynn

I was recently very fortunate to run across this Big Band short while watching TCM channel. My first reaction was that it was a nice little film featuring the Freddie Rich Orchestra, Joe Sodja - outstanding guitarist, but particularly a catchy version of the "Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond" featuring Nan Wynn with The Three Symphonettes. Luckily, having a recorder in operation, I was able to go back and again listen to Nan Wynn (which I have now done over and over). What an amazingly beautiful voice!!! Her clarity, range and effortless singing just totally mesmerized me, along with the fact that she was a beautiful young lady. What a shame that her talent wasn't more recognized and more of her work isn't available. I am now trying to catch her in some of the movies in which she appeared, usually as a nightclub singer, but I'm thankful to at least have this video.
