@Croonr1

The male quartet is The Sportsmen (Bill Days, Bob Stevens, Marty Sperzel and Gurney Bell)

@the78prof72

Thanks. I've noted your YouTube post and a couple of mentions elsewhere of The Sportsmen appearing on this track. Can you direct me to a source with session data verifying the backup group? The Mellomen were her regular guys in 1949 and 1950, while The Sportsmen were signed to Capitol in the late '40s.

@@the78prof72 Can’t say that I have session info but I have been researching The Sportsmen for the last 30+ years and I know what they sound like. Plus John Rarig was a former member and their arranger.

@@Croonr1 Okay! Thanks for the info.

@@the78prof72 They also backed Doris up on “Last Mile Home”, “Don’t Gamble With Romance”, “Ol’ Saint Nicholas”, “Here Comes Santa Claus”, “When Your Lover Has Gone” and “I’m Beginning To Miss You.” When I was in contact with Bill Days in the mid-90s he didn’t understand why they weren’t given label credit but said how much they enjoyed working with Doris.

@the78prof72

Good question. One might assume some kind of legal or contractual reason as there were plenty of Rarig/Mellomen label credits for Doris despite that group's appearance on other labels.
