The Modernaires are celebrating over70 years in show business. They had their beginning as a Trio in Buffalo, New York in 1935. Hal Dickinson, Chuck Goldstein and Bill Conway became a quartet when Ralph Brewster joined the group. They sang with the Ozzie Nelson, Fred Waring, Paul Whiteman Bands, and became a big hit when they joined the legendary Glenn Miller Band in 1939.

In 1941 Paula Kelly joined the group and they recorded some ot their most memorable songs---"Juke Box Saturday Night", "Chattanooga Choo Choo","Serenade in Blue". "Kalamazoo", Moonlight Cocktaisl", and countless others. Perfida & In the Mood plays on this page.

Hal Dickinson and Paula Kelly married and their daughters are continuing "The Modernaires" tradition to the present day.
