From the 1940's through the 1960's, many singers, Jill among them,
contributed their talents to a variety of radio programs sponsored by various
governmental agencies promoting civil defense, the National Guard or the
sale of United States savings bonds. In 1956, the twenty-one-year-old
Jill also made a series of fifteen minute television programs for
those same sponsoring agencies. Each program was devoted to the music
of single famous song writer of the day, among them Harold Arlen, Cole
Porter and Hoagy Carmichael.
By choosing one of the options presented below you can view actual excerpts

We are deeply indebted to devoted Jill Corey fan Mr. John Greenstreet of
Baltimore, Maryland, for his talent and expertise in preparing these videos.

her manifold talents on our Reflections
