Kerr, Anita, Anita Kerr Singers
The Anita Kerr Singers was a vocal quintet whose performances attracted the attention of a WSM radio program director. He hired Anita Kerr to become leader of and arranger for an octet choir on the radio station's "Sunday Down South" broadcasts.
Joining her were singers Carl Garvin, Jim Hall, Doug Kirkham, Mary Ellen Puckett, Evelyn Wilson, Mildred Kirkham, and Don Fotrell. The group's first recording session was with Red Foley. Their talents in demand, Anita's group continued to sing backup for other country artists in Nashville, including Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins and Ernest Tubb.
