While listening to 'Big Band Sunday' on the local PBS station I heard this tune 'drop me off uptown'. A male female duo. Heard the man say 'anita' and the woman say 'Roy', so I figured it was the OP's girl friend, Anita O'day, with Roy Eldridge. Goggle confirmed it. This would have been considered fairly 'risque' in 1942. But, there was a war going on. After the clip, is a short piece about her entitled 'The Jazz Life'.
Anita had such a sexy voice back in the day. Even while just speaking. I now realize she is on this radio station a lot.
Where would we be without the internet?
