- RARE OLDIES SOUNDIES WITH MISS INA RAY HUTTON & HER MELODEARS ! Ina Ray Hutton (March 13, 1916February 19, 1984) was an American female leader during the Big band era, and half-sister to June Hutton. Hutton was born as Odessa Cowan in Chicago, Illinois. She began dancing and singing in stage revues at the age of eight. She attended Hyde Park High School on the South Side of Chicago. It was in the 30's that she appeared on Broadway in George White's "Melody" and also in the Ziegfeld Follies. In 1934 she was asked to lead an all-girl orchestra, the Melodears which was disbanded in 1939. In 1940 she led an all-male orchestra, it was later disbanded in 1946. She married Randy Brooks late in the 1940s. She retired from music in 1968 and died in 1984 of complications from diabetes.

In Ray was incredible. She had beauty, talent and a personality that just lights up the stage. It's a shame Hollywood never called on her.
Fred Sanford sent me here
Ina Ray was a true spark of sympathy, beauty and musical and dancing ability, a true show woman.
So great beyond great. Never heard of her. Don't understand that. I've watched this dozens of times in the last couple months. Another youtube discovery.
Isn't UA-cam fantastic? I'd never heard of her until this video was recommended to me years ago, I watch it every now and then and everything about her and her Melodears still blows me away.
Written in 1935 for Cotton Club Parade. Fats Waller recorded it in 1935, very popular. Years later, in 1962, Frank Sinatra recorded a version called Everybody's Twistin'
Truckin' is a favourite song for me, and this is a wonderful performance by Ina Ray Hutton, fantastic!
She was amazing...like a cross between Cab Callaway and Ginger Rogers
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT! It's like having a dream that could never ever possibly have been real! Thank you so much for your exquisite taste!
Ina “Rockin’” Rae really had big. Thank you.
Thank you SO MUCH for this beautiful post. The forces all came together to create this jewel of a woman. What a talent!
The very beautiful,talented,sexy Ina Ray and her wonderful Melodears. I would have loved to have seen them perform live.
If we could go back.... Ellington, Louis, endless awesomeness. Never heard of Ina Ray but am totally blown way.
Robert Crumb or Grateful Dead weren't the first. Keep on Truckin! Another utterly phenomenal example of why I am a you tube fan.
How could I have never heard of Ina Ray? I need to ask my 95 year old big band fan mom.
There's actually quite a few of videos of hers to marvel at but this one is the best. I always measure greatness by when I get to about a dozen views with no end in sight.
...and June was not her half-sister---they were FULL sisters, as in SAME MOTHER, SAME FATHER. You could look it up. it's all in this researched article I posted below....
THIS IS SUPER AWESOME! Reminds Me of the 1935 Tommy Dorsey records using Elanor Powell as a vocal and Tap dancing!
Wow.......great work......!!!!!
If she ain't black then she sure paid attention growing up in a black neighborhood.
She's smooth and the band is crankin', whatever ethnicity they are
Ina Ray and her "all-girl orchestra" were very famous and not a gimmick act all but a very accomplished aggregation of excellent musicians. Ina Ray herself also was an outstanding singer, as was her famous younger sister June.
The only "gimmick" was that she was the "bandleader." She really didn't know that much about music, much less on how to lead a band. However she did play a little piano and she did move around in rhythm. The band did NOT take their cues from her so she really didn't direct them. But she fronted them for the effect.
+LetsTalkDodgers13 You are absolutely right.
Sho ya right they were off the chain str8 up winners..they knew their instruments to da TEE.
oh my goodness i love her!
fantastico...........
If I HAD A TIME MACHINE AND A LOT OF MONEY I WOULD...not talk in capital letters, but she is beautiful isnt she????
I dont think this is a soundie, just part of a short from the 1930's. Ina Ray Hutton is great, though! Check out her other shorts from the 30's. You'll fall in love with her! She's got it all-excellent tap dancer, singer,beautiful, commanding, just great!
murraymae...
The soundies were from 1941 to 1947 which were played on Panoram. In the 30s these were just short musical films which may have proceeded full length features in movie houses. Check out all the band musical shorts from Warner Bros./Vitaphone. Artie Shaw, Larry Clinton, Woody Herman, Hal Kemp, Frances Carroll, Jan Savitt, Stan Kenton,etc...
Nice!
good quality video!
this may be the most undislikeable thing seen ever.
Haha I agree!
as are you. ;{)> @@rolom3
HER BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL TOO!
@cbonklisse But she DEFINITELY learned that swing and rhythm from a black person. No doubt.
She is black
She was blonde with light eyes.
@@Roxanambaresearch WRONG.
Yes, Her Dress is a nice shade of black.
Wow, great stuff.
GOOD tap routine!
Found Ina Ray Hutton through an article regarding five Chicagoan's who passed for white. Article leading from recent story of the NAACP white woman who was passing for black. But man that sure was some kind of foot work, tap! The band was "off tha hook!"

+cboncklis So It's all a myth? Well, watched the video again and enjoyed it even more. she sure was was a performer. :)
@cbonklisse Why are blacks desperate to drag whites into their "race"?

cbonklisse No she’s actually mixed race (quadroon) she’s only 1/4 percent black but that doesn’t mean she’s black tho.
Remembering Ina Ray Hutton born on March 13, 1916. She was an American singer, bandleader, and the half-sister of June Hutton. She led one of the first all-female big bands. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ina_Ray_Hutton
They were not half sisters. They had the same mother and father. My God.
@@shadowess1961 Feel Free to make the Correction on Wikipedia. I just Copy and Paste what is on the Wikipedia Pages of the posts I make here on UA-cam!
Hot hot hot! What an act!
On guitar - and visibly enjoying herself (maybe because she didn't have to worry about smearing her lipstick!) - is Helen Baker, a fixture on the Cleveland scene for decades and elected to the Banjo Hall of Fame.
Yes, Ina child you work it sister.
Yowza, is she a hard working lady!

Hot!
Based on the one-drop rule, she was a black woman passing for white (passe blanc).
Clearly the one drop rule was a load of bollocks. Shame on America.
You guys may not know this, but Ina Ray Hutton was black.
If you think that, then you should read THIS: hollywoodlandforever.blogspot.com/2014/04/sisters-secrets-ina-ray-and-june.html It will tell you the truth from a source who did the background checks and found out that Ina Ray AND her sister were NOT black!
+LetsTalkDodgers13 I know many Black performers from that golden age who knew her well, she hung out with a lot of them. Many still alive today up in their 90s speak of her often, saying how cool and soulful she was. An old tap dancer told me how the Whitman Sisters (you can look them up if you choose), use to give her costumes. I love the lady, she was truly one of a kind. Wish I could have met her.
My grandmother who was a contemporary of Ina Ray Hutton and knew her said she was black and I believe her, not you.
she was great whatever she was - white, black, green, purple...
Look up Dona Drake, she also had a all-girl band and was billed as Rita Rio( among other names). Both of Dona parents were black, and after seeing her photographs I really don't see how she pulled off passing in Hollywood. She did play up the Latina image, claiming to be form Mexico and learning Spanish.
lady gaga back then
ACTUALLY MORE LIKE THE JANET JACKSON OF HER TIME. SHE PASSED...
The tight-fitting dress made of shiny material is sexy, but I was thinking it would've been constricting for her dancing. And she has a lot of dancing to do.
Yes, the dress was constricting. She should have taken it off.
