tinpanalley Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Just a silly question that came up recently and couldn't think of any early 20th century jazz or popular musicians (big band, band leaders, pop vocalists, etc) that were redheads. Is this a thing? I mean, even adding classic Hollywood all I can think of is Cagney, Spencer Tracy, and Leslie Howard! Any suggestions on this? I figured the brains here would have the right database for this. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Red Norvo, when he had hair. I hope all the examples we think of are not folks nicknamed "Red." Quote
tinpanalley Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Posted February 3, 2019 I thought Rudy Vallee was a redhead but apparently not. Quote
