1938 Frank Luther & Zora Layman Decca Record Set

With the massive 1938 box office success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, demand was high for the music from the film. Numerous albums were released with different reworkings of the catchy tunes. One such collection featured the popular children's music recording artist, Frank Luther, along with his then-wife Zora Layman. They transformed the original Frank Churchill and Larry Morey songs into their own, adding colorful lines, verses, and sound effects. Additional credited performers included The Clubmen and whistler Bob MacGimsey
