Martha Tilton - "Loch Lomond" (1941)

[@USRoute66]

I never realized that Martha Tilton was so beautiful! I have always loved to hear sing, but she also delivers in the looks department too! WOW!!

[@dayfan1962]

What a swingin' performance. Her voice truely is lilting! Thanks for posting; more people will know her and how talented she really was. She deserves the exposure to a new generation.

She holds the distinction of being the first female non-classical music singer to perform at Carnegie Hall. She sang with the Benny Goodman Band there, in fact, I do believe she sang this song on stage there. A nice singer who had some great legs!

[@dayfan1962]

Thank you so much for posting this classic. The jazzy rendition is just to die for. Love Martha, so smooth, like silk!

[@medtner1970]

Great Martha, the first singer I loved when I was a child. Thanks for posting this beautiful document!

[@mmmm66]

Her facial expression change at :45-50 is more sexy than any hip gyrating from Madonna to Rihanna. Drives me wild ha

[@AlfredoArbe]

lovely old tunes!

[@Rivenrock]

Wow, I just don't picture skirts like that in 1941! It's great we have video like this! She was a great singer and seems like a sweet girl. My best to her family.

Legs that go up to the sky!

[@AKLDGUY]

I keep coming back to this cause it's a guy pleaser on so many levels. The lovely leggy Miss Tilton flirting with the kilt wearers and the mini kilted high stepping dancers.

Great song love it

"Liltin'" Martha Tilton! I knew she had a great voice, but until now didn't know about the great legs!

[@LadyPictureShow721]

She does a good job. The best version, by far, is done by a little girl on the Follies of 1938 episode of Our Gang. She's amazing!

[@MrGreenman447]

Best female singer ever.

[@0001943]

[@kerunia]

Just fantadtic.

[@viktorvaldemar]

[@matthewlubin96]

Anyone know the name of that tune that plays over the opening credits of the Soundie? Sounds traditional and famous, but I don't know what it's called.

[@tirompoicculo]

mad love.

[@kissolife]

A solid enough rendition arranged and sung and staged in typical short subject style. I just stopped by for the leggy weggs!

[@ZephaniahL]

Does anyone know what the tune playing at the beginning of the film is? Scottish, I assume.

[@onthegoldenline]

A very, very pretty girl.

[@PhillySouth]

I know one thing for sure - it's a shame this is not the version she (the same Martha Tilton) did with Benny Goodman Orchestra (eh, a much better band) back in 1938 - that was the definitive version for Ms. Tilton, for sure. Also, not done too shabbily by Maxine Sullivan, who also had a hit with it.

[@MamboCurto]

@saferwaters Looks more like spinach on the lower jaw

[@SweetHeartsofRhythm]

Is that Rita Hayworth in the ensemble?

[@19401341]

You're right about her expressions. She would have been great in Hollywood. She was sexier and happier than the Doris Day. Maybe Doris could act better.

[@se5tachi]

[@samuelkaplan824]
