It does not sound like Hoagy to me,...and I was one of his greatest fans.
I'd be suprised if many of you young'uns here even knew who he was. |

Nope, that ain't Hoagy.
Catchy tune though - wonder if it'll take off? |

This jingle was sung in part by a voice teacher I had in Chicago in the mid to late 70's. His name was Ed Farran, and he founded a singing group (with his twin brother Fred) called The Arbors, out of the University of Michigan in the early 60's. When they moved to Chicago, they became first-call session singers there. I know that they formed another singing group primarily for jingles, but that group's name escapes me now.
Ed also co-wrote "You Deserve A Break Today" for McDonald's.
At any rate, Ed and Fred were two of the singers on the Rice Krispies jingle. Looking at that film, it may have been a later incarnation, but who knows,?.
He was a great guy, and unfortunately died in 2005.

"Symphony For Susan" was their first hit, if I remember correctly, but "Graduation Day" was their signature song,
They suffered the misfortune of trying to sing songs that had lyrics that could be understood - and the biggest sin of all - their music had a melody. |

| My mother is a Carmichael. No relation...I don't think. My favorite is Hong Kong Blues. |

From the official Hoagy Carmichael website I found a couple of links to him singing his own songs, Stardust and Hong Kong Blues:
http://www.hoagy.com/listen.htm
You can also see that many famous and contemporary artists have sung his tunes.
The thing I remember about him from time to time is that he is a contender for longest song title ever written:
"I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama With My Honolulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-o Beat-o Flat-on-my-Seat-o Hirohito Blues"

I love Hoagy Carmichael. I think I have every song he recorded. And there's a good biography too...
It amazes me how many songs have been written about Indiana of all places. |

Hoagy's son makes the most in demand custom bamboo fly fishing rods in America. Read an article about him in the Smithsonian.
And speaking of Hoagy, how did is name get connected with those Dagwood sandwiches known as grinders and submarines? |

Two versions of the origins of "hoagie":
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hoagie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoagie
And sadly, neither has to do with Mr. Carmichael.

P.S. However the "grinder" was named after 70's glitter rocker Gary Grinder, and the "blimpie" was originally a contracted name for the famous baloney and mustard pies served in St. Louis during the World's Fair of 1918. Since the pie crusts crumbled easily, causing quite a mess, the treat was eventually served on a baguette, but the moniker stuck. Coincidentally, the dry cleaning process was developed at that same World's Fair.

Notice in 1971 no women worked at McDonald's.
