Author: WAKELY, Jimmy (1914-82)
Title: Signature and Inscription / Unsigned Photograph
Description: This singer and songwriter, a major country star of the '40s and '50s, crooned his way through a number of Hollywood shoot-'em-ups in the 1940s; he also had a popular CBS radio show (1952-57). Bold and nice "To Donald Burnell / With good wishes / Jimmy Wakely" penned in purple ballpoint, irregular-trimmed (roughly rectangular) 4½" X 2" slip, n.p. n.y. [ca. 1970]. Good plus. Small scotch tape stain at upper left and upper right corner (the former touching the "T," the latter touching the last "l" in "Burnell"). Accompanied by a choice vintage 10" X 8" sepia-tone glossy photograph, a scene from the 1944 Western "Swing in the Saddle" depicting him front and center with singer Jane Frazee, the "Hoosier Hotshots" band behind them. Despite condition flaws, an uncommon signature -- and a humdinger image. .
