Martha Tilton - "Who's Yehouti" from Varsity Vanities (1940)

Alt. Title: "Who's Yehoodi" and "Who's Yehudi."
Martha Tilton, with the Six Hits and a Miss (look for Jimmie Dodd of Mickey Mouse Club fame), sings in this Universal film short from 1940.

This is the first time I've seen Martha Tilton. She is so sweet. I love her voice.

The correct title of this song is "Who's Yehoodi?" (not "Yehouti".) The name comes from child prodigy violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who became popular around this time. Jimmy Dodd appears here wearing a sport coat, standing to the left of Martha Tilton in one shot. His hair is wavy and sticks up. He later became famous as one of the adults on Walt Disney's original "Mickey Mouse Club" from 1955 to about 1959, and died of cancer in Honolulu in 1964.

Love it! My mother's first cousin, Marvin Bailey, was one of the guys in Six Hits and a Miss.

LOVE this clip. A great showcase for Six Hits and a Miss, one of the very best vocal groups of the 40's. As someone said, this number epitomizes the "sound" of that time.

Jimmy Dodd, later of "Mickey Mouse Club" fame, sings the second chorus

Yehoodi was a famous poet/philosopher and nightclub hypnotist.

I LOVE Six Hits and a Miss :D Nobody had a harmony like they did.

If your clothes are out of style just wait around 40 or 50 yrs, they'll come back in style again.

Looks like a good time to me.

@funkstagazza Wasn't it, though? I just can't get enough, especially the vocal groups like Six Hits and a Miss...

The guys singing in btwen the two girls is Bill Seckler co-writer of this song. He was our next door neighbor when I was growing up and Bobby his son my good friend. This song sucks... Bill if you can hear me up there.. WTF got into you? By the 50's early 60's Bill had turned into an alcoholic and was cleaning carpets to make a living .. Sad.. He died in '83 at the Motion Picture Home in Woodland Hills. ... but you know Bill, karma's a bitch ain't it!
