American comedian George Burns had a taste for show business from his youth growing up on New York's Lower East Side, and by the time he was seven he and his buddies had formed a singing group called the Pee Wee Quartet. Amateur shows led to small-time vaudeville, where Burns faced rejection time and again, often gaining jobs from people who had fired him earlier through the simple expedient of constantly changing his professional name. Usually working as part of a song-and-snappy-patter team, he was in the process of breaking up with his latest partner Billy Lorraine in 1922 when he met a pretty young singer/dancer named Gracie Allen.

"George Burns & Gracie Allen"

George Burns & Gracie Allen's radio show began in 1932 and lasted continuously for 18 years.
George played the straight man and frustrated singer, Gracie the dizzy dame whose constant chatter,
mixed-up vocabulary, and illogical logic befuddled her husband. The talented Me Blanc played many
supporting roles, including the memorable "Happy Postman." Interestingly enough, Gracie had trouble
adjusting to the radio; the show was always performed in front of a live audience because she
found it too difficult to perform without one.
