Jackie Gleason's "What Is a Boy?" and "What Is a Girl?" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

musicradio77 · 04-25-2005, 06:52 PM

If you like Jackie Gleason, guess what? I found two great stories told by Jackie Gleason. One is called "What Is a Boy?" and the other is "What Is a Girl?". These are from my collection of cassettes that I used to have. I have this tape since I bought at a flea market at one time. But I now, I ripped into mp3's since I copied from an older cassette back in the 70's. These are from someone's collection. The recordings are from the original 78's. If you like to listen to this, here are two stories by Jackie Gleason:

"What Is a Girl?" - Jackie Gleason

"What Is a Boy?" - Jackie Gleason

And here is a picture of the original 78 of Jackie Gleason's "What Is a Girl?"

Enjoy!

Wow! Those are really rare and valuable!

Yes, it is rare. I used to have an old cassette tape from the 70's I got it at a flea market about two years ago, but I gave it away. It's from my collection that I transfer from tape to CD. As you may know, it is rare and you cannot get it on CD anymore.

It's from the original 78 RPM record, and it's on the Decca label. This was before he performed his own orchestra when he released a collection of instrumental music on Capitol. His first album was "Music for Lover's Only". I have it on vinyl.
