Dec 13, 2006 · Martha Tilton, who died Friday at 91, was a band singer who worked for two years with Benny Goodman at the height of his fame and at his groundbreaking Carnegie Hall concert of 1938.
Martha was 23 years old and must have felt a strong sense of fulfillment when she sang "Lock Lomond" and received the longest ovation of the entire evening. She also sang "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon." I believe this solidly set Martha as one of the great swing vocalists. Martha's career with Goodman ended in April 1939, when the band broke up.
