Connie Haines on film, 1947.

Connie Haines was Tommy Dorsey's featured female vocalist, often alongside Frank Sinatra, in the early 1940's. She went on to a successful singing career on radio, movies, TV, and records until the 1980's. This clip is from a 1947 featurette entitled Record Party."

    Thank you for posting this gem. Connie Haines really was so underrated as a singer. And she was especially great at up-tempo swing numbers like this one where her Southern, confident, and extraverted personality shines through, although she also did a fine job on ballads as well.

    As a trivial footnote: When Connie died at 87, her mother out-lived her, aged 1O9 (!)
