I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate - Betty Grable (Wabash Avenue 1950)

[@jazzy2groovy4u]

I’m here because of the film the Girl can’t help it.

Same!

What a woman! Could sing, dance, act , do comedy... sold albums , entertained everybody, and was a top box office star for years ... the one and only Betty Grable!

Martin and Lewis writer Norman Lear would even occasionally use this song on All In The Family. I could swear by looking at the man in the straw hat that Dean Martin snuck into the movie, due to the striking resemblance. It may be Victor Mature, but the photos of Dean suggest he could've easily been his double. Grable's number would've fit in with The Night They Raided Minsky's too.

@@minewheaties5029 Yep, Victor Mature it is ! Big Vic... never thought of those two resembling each other but now that you mention it I do see it. The night they raided Minsky's! Had not thought of that movie in years? I saw it a Saturday matinee as a kid . Jason Robards and Britt Eklund? So long ago.

@@minewheaties5029 When I saw that guy in the straw hat, he reminded me of Paul Stanley from KISS :)

And also was the most popular pinup with the soldiers in WWII…

I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that she can indeed shimmy like her sister Kate.a

I love Betty and this is one of my faves

my solo song!YAY!

[@minewheaties5029]

World War II hero Norman Lear, who also served as the television writer for Martin and Lewis, liked to use this on All In The Family. Looking at the guy in the straw hat, who may be Victor Mature, I could also swear it was Dean Martin filling in. With regards to Grable's semi-striptease, Norman even later made a striptease spoof called The Night They Raided Minsky's
