Burns
and Allen are one of the most beloved couple in old time radio. They got
started, like many of the greats of old time radio, in vaudeville, which is
really just the touring popular entertainment in America prior to movies.
Gracie was the sparkplug of the act, always the center of attention. George
played the foil, the guy vainly trying to make sense of the ditzy world of
Gracie. By the early 30s, Gracie was probably the best known woman on radio.
Gracie often sang in a voice that showed she was also an excellent comedienne
songstress.
