From 1956, Perry is joined by Martha Davis and Calvin Ponder, whose musical comedy act, "Martha Davis & Spouse," enjoyed great popularity in the late 1940s and 1950s. Sadly, Davis -- an immensely talented pianist -- died just four years after this performance at the age of 42 from cancer.

The song "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" was written in 1935 by Fred E. Ahlert and Joe Young.

And from what I have read,Perry was one of the "clean" guys in the entertainment business,no fooling around and messing up his life like so many others.

My mother had an album by this duo and she used to play it all the time when I was a little girl in the late 50's! I only wish my mom was alive to see this because she would really get a kick out of this! I love YOU TUBE!!!! LOL!
