| | In 1942 Slack formed his own orchestra which soon scored with the very successful "Cow Cow Boogie" and "Strange Cargo." Freddie Slack's Orchestra initially featured singer Ella Mae Morse and for a short time it was one of the more popular swing big bands, appearing in several films and recording for Capitol during 1942-47. | | | Freddie Slack was based in California in the 1950's and 60's but he faded from the spotlight with the end of the 1940's, recording a final small-group album for EmArcy in 1955. | | | As a key piano soloist with Will Bradley's Orchestra during 1939-41, Slack was well showcased on the famous recording of "Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar" which helped launch the boogie-woogie fad. |

| | Ella Mae Morse was the featured girl singer, and her "Cow Cow Boogie" was an important early hit for Capitol Records | | | Freddie Slack and his Orchestra toured widely and recorded prolifically, probably Les' first prolonged exposure to this sort of professional musical life. | | | What is for sure is that Les and Bigard were absorbed into the band of boogie woogie pianist Freddie Slack, whose popularity skyrocketed with his finding a large-breasted teenaged white girl who sang black. |

| | Ella Mae Morse |
| | Ella Mae Morse was one of the most exciting vocalists of the 1940s and 50s, a hard-to-classify, Texas-born white singer who knocked everyone out with her hip, black-inflected vocals from the moment she hit the scene as a seventeen-year-old with boogie pianist Freddie Slack's Orchestra in 1942. | | | She was not under contract when the song was recorded and once told me she was only paid $35.00 for the song. | | | She left Slack a year later and continued recording solo for Capitol into the mid fifties. |

| | Singer Ella Mae Morse was another spirited performer whose Cow Cow Boogie with pianist Slack appealed to jitterbuggers and the soda fountain crowd alike. | | | Margaret Whiting was one of the grandes dames of American popular music and she is teamed with pianist Freddie Slack on That Old Black Magic, a Harold Arlen classic with lyrics by the prolific Johnny Mercer. | | | Our example was recorded in 1943 by Millers’s service orchestra and doubtless inspired a positive reaction from everyone who heard it. |

| | Pianist Freddie Slack found himself as a pivotal figure in that band, and it helped to steer him toward forming his own ensemble which backed one of the top female voices of the decade (Ella Mae Morse), and launch a string of recordings for a brand new label called Capitol. | | | The explosion of boogie woogie piano during the late 1930s, found a kindred spirit in one of the top swing bands of the time; the Will Bradley / Ray McKinley Orchestra. | | | As a bonus, we've added the rare Ray McKinley Capitol session of July 1942. |
