Mexicali Trail - Vaughn Monroe
Despite an early talent for the trumpet, Vaughn Monroe's desire to become an opera singer eventually landed him almost ten number one hits during the '40s as well as a host of nicknames for his rich baritone, including "The Voice with Hairs on Its Chest" and "Old Leather Tonsils." Born in Akron, OH, Monroe moved to Wisconsin while still a child and focused on his trumpet talent for most of his boyhood. Another early ambition, to be an opera singer, resulted in his signing on as a vocalist with territory bands led by Austin Wylie, Larry Funk (for whom he made his recording debut) and Jack Marshand. While based in Boston with Marshand, Monroe formed his first orchestra and began recording for Victor's low-priced Bluebird label. One of his first singles, "There I Go," spent three weeks at the top of the Hit Parade in 1940. Though his orchestra was rather tame (even for the time), it was voted top college band that year. His longtime theme song "Racing with the Moon" debuted in 1941, and the following year-and-a-half brought no less than three number one hits: "My Devotion," "When the Lights Go on Again (All Over the World)," and "Let's Get Lost." Monroe's first few years of recording had been quite successful, but all his biggest hits were yet to come. During 1945, "There! I've Said It Again" and "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" both spent more than a month at the top of the charts. And his two biggest hits, "Ballerina" and "Riders in the Sky," came in 1947 and 1949 <b>...</b>

Vaughn Monroe - My Devotion (1942)
Charted at #5 in September 1942. Original Billboard review: "The appealing love ballad in the "My Devotion" side, with its simple melody, makes excellent song material for the maestro. Monroe embellishes the tune with an attractive score. Setting it in the slow tempo, muted trumpet and alto sax share half a chorus to start the side and the maestro takes over to sing it for a complete chorus." Also #2 for Charlie Spivak and His Orchestra, #10 for Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra (vocal by Bob Eberly) and #13 for the Four King Sisters, all in 1942. Recorded by the Angels (with Linda Jansen on lead) in the 1960's. Written by Roc Hillman and Johnny Napton. B-side is "When I Grow Up".

Original Billboard review: "This side is a gently paced ballad, pretty in lyric and melody. Will appeal to discerning pop jockeys." Billboard rating: 74 out of 100. Released in December 1955. Written by David A. Mann, Arthur Kent & Redd Evans. B-side is "Steel Guitar".
