Hi, Folks -

Those who have met (on TV) Betty White (1922-) only in recent years may not know she's an excellent singer. :) But she's had the longest television career of any female entertainer, so says the Guinness Book of Records. :) So she's had time to do all sorts of things.

Jimmy Boyd (1939-2009) was perhaps best known for his recording of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" when he was 13. The record became an immediate hit, much to the surprise of record company executives. :) Additionally, Wikipedia says:

Boyd showed he had comedic talents in recurring roles in the television series Bachelor Father (as Howard Meechum, the boyfriend of the Noreen Corcoran character), Date with the Angels, The Betty White Show, Broadside (in the role of Marion Botnik), and My Three Sons. He also appeared in a number of motion pictures, including Inherit the Wind (1960).

One of his surviving performances available online is with Betty White on "The Betty White Show" in the mid-1950s.[1]

At the time, Boyd was the youngest entertainer ever allowed to appear in Las Vegas, starring at the famed Sands Hotel's "Copa Room" at age thirteen during Sinatra's "Rat Pack" era.

Here's that clip of Jimmy Boyd and Betty White singing together.
