"The Delta Rhythm Boys, heard Saturdays and Sundays on the Columbia Broadcasting System network, are incomparable interpreters of the spirit of negro folk songs, and expert harmonizers in the modern swing and jazz melodies. They hail from Tupelo, Miss., and started their haunting harmonies while studying at Dillard University in New Orleans. From left to right: Clinton Holland, Traverse Crawford, Harry Lewis, and Otho Gaines." (from attached press release).
