Google B. Bumble and the Stingers. Same era, same schtick.

I hope somebody can point you in the right direction — not familiar to me.

Here are some more songs from 54-56 I’d like to hear again. She’s Got a Wobble by Sugar Boy and two by Johnny Fuller. Sister Jenny and My Heart Is Bleeding. I put a lot of nickels in the juke box to hear those.

“Yup, they don’t write songs like that anymore.” Some would say that’s a good thing.

Thanks for the comment.

It is also available on a Time-Life CD Wacky Favorites, Weird and Wild. I saw it on ebay once, but it went too high. You can hear “Transfusion” on YouTube.

Yup, they don’t write songs like that anymore. Time-Life had a CD of songs in that genre.

Thank you for your response. I take your point about the difficulty in finding accurate sources; but I have found no original source material that does not treat Froman’s talent, success, and courage with great respect. She was a major radio star for at least a decade before the plane crash, and her disappearance from public consciousness is a function of the timing and chronicity of her injuries rather than a result of any lack of talent or success on her part. With this in mind, it is particularly sad to read online material from a respected music blogger who appears to have missed the point: Jane Froman was indeed “One of the music world’s treasures”, to quote Jim Stewart, and it falls to us to see that she continues to be heard.

And bless your heart, you’ve corrected the spelling while I was writing this! BG, the Froman archives are located in three different repositories in Columbia, Mo. With your insight in mind, I will see whether someone there cannot be prevailed upon to address the absence of her bio. on Allmusic. In the meantime, you might seek out the clips of JF on Youtube and— I know I’m going to hate myself in the morning— See Jane Sing.
