Powers Gouraud
1950
Powers Gouraud, "The Old Night Owl," began some of his earlier nightly commentary on WCAU radio, which was sponsored by Yellow Cab, with "Yel-low, night owls and night owlettes, yel-low!"
On Thursday, January 11, 1951, we have a short clip from an interview Powers did with
nightclub entertainer Belle Baker. Belle during her career had introduced many
Irving Berlin tunes and had starred on Broadway. The quality on this excerpt is not the best but the clip does illustrate the gentle and kind nature of Gouraud.
