Dorothy Shay

Another rare gem from John's record store of 78's RPM complete with the introduction of the scratching  and surface noise at the beginning of the record that was inevitable with the old shellac discs !!..boy they were brittle and very easily broken especially if you sat on them !!..by mistake of course !!....It must have been a heavy box 9 records and a 78 was no lightweight !!

 Dorothy Shay (April 11, 1921 – October 22, 1978) was an American popular comedic recording artist in the late 1940s and early 1950s, who later became a character actress. She was known as the "Park Avenue Hillbilly".She signed with Columbia Records and recorded a series of hit records. Her biggest hit was "Feudin' and Fightin'" in 1947. In that same year, her album, "Dorothy Shay (The Park Avenue Hillbilly) Sings", was rated number 1 in Billboard magazine's Best-Selling Popular Albums. She was the first female artist to have a number 1 album on the Billboard chart.

  2. It was not an album of 9 78s, but four. The rest are "extras" and the whole lot have been lifted from https://archive.org/details/78_its-the-little-things-that-count_dorothy-shay-mischa-russell-merrill-shay_gbia0003830d
