Hear a digitally enhanced and restored NBC Orthacoustic Electrical Transcription disc of the musical portion of the "Fibber McGee and Molly Show" as heard on the live OTR broadcast. Billy Mills was the "maestro" - or musical director of the show - and his 18 to 22-piece radio studio orchestra was populated with musical radio stars like Buddy Cole on piano, Perry Botkin on guitar, Phil Stephens on bass, and soloists like Andy Secrest on trumpet and Abram Lincoln on trombone and Matty Matlock on clarinet - as well as NBC staff musicians and 'stars' from the big bands that were disbanding during this time.

Hear these vintage and rare big band swing arrangements as performed live during the 'musical interlude' of the show - never intended to be heard again - with a high-fidelity quality than originally heard on AM radio over 65 years ago. Billy Mills was the orchestra leader for the show from 1938 to 1953, at which point NBC dropped the live orchestra and cut the show to 15 minutes due to viewer competition with television.

At their peak, this top-rated Old Time Radio show, "Fibber McGee and Molly", would have had over 35 million listeners on a typical Tuesday night broadcast (at 9:30p ET) - until television came along, decimating the radio network audiences.

The King's Men, led by the talented Ken Darby, were a renowned vocal quartet known for their captivating performances on the popular radio program "The Fibber McGee and Molly Show."

They are best known as Bing Crosby's backup vocalists on his famous "White Christmas" Decca recording. In the 1950's, Ken Darby wrote the theme and the vocal group provided the musical accompaniment to the syndicated filmed TV show "Jim Bowie".

Formed in the early 1930s, The King's Men consisted of four exceptional vocalists: Bud Linn, Rad Robinson, Jon Dodson, and Ken Darby himself.

The King's Men are best known for their appearances on "The Fibber McGee and Molly Show," a highly popular radio comedy program.
