| Red Blanchard was a San Francisco radio personality in the 1950s... His best claim to fame on a NATIONAL level is probably his Tarzan-type yells on the Nervous Norvis novelty record "Ape Call." In fact, Norvus (real name: Jimmy Drake) composed and performed Red's theme song, which I have recently heard on Red's web site. I believe Red also made a record in the early 1950s for Columbia, but I've never heard it. |
