Donnie sent a brief bio of Johnny Stanley. Do you remember Johnny Stanley?

Johnny Stanley was born in Milwaukee and wrote a comedy routine called, "It's in the book".  In 1952 he recorded the routine and, if he had done that today, we would say it went viral.  But in 1952 we called it a million seller.  In fact a TWO MILLION SELLER.  That's right.  "It's in the book" sold 2 million records.

Stanley toured with Horace Height's orchestra.  The show played at the Corn Palace in Mitchell and we went to see it with Ed and Marion Pfaff.

Johnny came out and did his routine and I thought Ed and Dad were going to laugh themselves sick.  Ed didn't laugh a lot.  In fact, I think that's the only time I ever did see him laugh but Johnny Stanley, totally, broke him up.

I haven't heard, or seen, the routine in a long time but knowing that YOU TUBE has a video of, almost, everything I did a search and there it was!
