Following is a message sent within the family of JACK FULTON, who was a radio personality in the 20's, 30's, 40's & 50's. He had his own show out of Chicago in the latter era. I'm looking for some of his radio work, but have been very unsuccessful so far. Can anyone help? I would truly appreciate any information or clue. I did find a PAUL WHITEMAN program from the early 1930's, and a song on a BEN BURNIE program, but I know there's much more than that. Where oh where?? Thanks for your help. Here is the family message:

Uncle Jack would have been 100 . . . this year!
Today's 100th Birthday. . .
. . .belongs to Jack Fulton, trombonist and vocalist. His first major gig came with George Olsen in 1926, but later that year, he joined Paul Whiteman. He became the band's leading vocalist while also playing his horn. He left Whiteman in 1934, playing clubs and theaters, mainly in Chicago, and also appearing as a vocalist on various radio shows into the 50's. In 1936, he led a band for Sophie Tucker. Fulton was also a composer and lyricist, responsible for "Last Night I Said a Prayer",
"Until", "My Baby Didn't Even Say Goodbye" and "Silence Is Golden", among others.

Album "Say it with Music" features Uncle Jack on many tracks....
