Will Osborne (November 25, 1905 – October 22, 1981) was a Canadian-born American bandleader, trombonist, and crooner.
Will Osborne, the stage name of William Osborne Oliphant, began his musical career as a drummer and brass player, both the cornet and trumpet and especially the slide trombone. After playing in local and regional bands in his native Canada, Osborne formed his own band and began his bandleading career in 1924. In 1929, the rapid rise in the radio popularity of Rudy Vallee prompted Osborne to add his own vocals to his recordings. 
In his book, The Big Bands, George T. Simon described the band that Osborne formed in 1935 as "a stylized outfit that featured rich, deep-toned brass, emphasizing, of all things, trumpets plus glissing trombones blown through megaphones.”Osborne dubbed his band’s new sound as "Slide Music."

Charles (Chick) Bullock (September 16, 1898 – September 15, 1981) was an American jazz and dance band vocalist, most active in the 1930s. He recorded some 500 tunes over the course of his career. Bullock was mostly associated with the ARC group of labels (Melotone, Perfect, Banner, Oriole, Romeo). Many of his records were issued under the name "Chick Bullock and his Levee Loungers"......His career as a studio musician took off in the late 1920s, and in the 1930s he sang with musicians such as Duke Ellington, Luis Russell, Cab Calloway, Bunny Berigan, Bill Coleman, Jack Teagarden, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Joe Venuti, and Eddie Lang. Bullock's recordings proved so popular that he used pseudonyms for some recordings, including the name Sleepy Hall.
Bullock belonged to select group of mostly freelance vocalists who sang the vocal refrains on hundreds of New York sessions.
