The Stardusters were American jazz vocalists.

The Stardusters were founded as a male trio in the mid-1930s. Glen Galyon, Curt Purnell, and Dick Wylder had already established themselves in 1936 as the Stardusters, and in 1939, were featured on NBC radio: The Vitalis Show, featuring George Jessel and his Celebrated Guests. They were also featured in late 1939 and early 1940 with Frank Novak and his Music Creators on the Chiclets program heard over NBC.

Bertram Gutsell (February 10, 1887 - June 10, 1952), better known as Bertini, was a British dance band leader and composer.He led small bands on ships and cafes before becoming Musical Director of the Royal Theatre, Bognor in 1923.Over the next few years the band included many future stars of the Dance Band Era, including Nat Gonella and Freddy Wood.They were in Blackpool in October 1927 when Bert was offered the leadership of the Blackpool Tower Band by the Musical Advisor, Frank Jepson, who suggested that the name Bertini.The band hardly changed personnel over the next nine years. They made their first records for Parlophone in 1929 and recorded for Piccadilly, Sterno, Broadcast and Regal Zonophone before a two-year contract with Crystalate’s 8 inch Eclipse label from mid 1933.

Woodrow Charles Herman (May 16, 1913 – October 29, 1987) was an American jazz clarinetist, saxophonist, singer, and big band leader. Leading groups called "The Herd", Herman came to prominence in the late 1930s and was active until his death in 1987. His bands often played music that was cutting edge and experimental; their recordings received numerous Grammy nominations.

Herman's first band became known for its orchestrations of the blues, and was sometimes billed as "The Band That Plays the Blues". This band recorded for the Decca label, at first serving as a cover band, doing songs by other Decca artists. After two and a half years on the label, the band had its first hit, "Woodchopper's Ball" recorded in 1939. Herman remembered that "Woodchopper's Ball" started out slowly. "It was really a sleeper. But Decca kept re-releasing it, and over a period of three or four years it became a hit. Eventually it sold more than five million copies—the biggest hit I ever had." 

Albert Allick Bowlly (7 January 1899 – 17 April 1941) was a South African-British vocalist, crooner and dance band guitarist who was Britain's most popular singer for most of the 1930s. He recorded upwards of 1,000 songs that were listened to by millions.He moved to Britain, where in July 1928 he joined Fred Elizalde's band that played at the Savoy Hotel, London until 1929. He went on to play with various bands on a temporary basis, before gaining more regular employment in May 1931 with Roy Fox, singing in his live band for the Monseigneur Restaurant, a stylish restaurant on Piccadilly in London, and with bandleader Ray Noble in November 1930.
