We keep a site on independent record labels and some of their artists in Chicago during the post-World War II period. One of the companies we have been covering is Aristocrat (the forerunner of Chess and Checker). In 1947, Aristocrat released a 78 by the Hollywood Tri-Tones, which we believe was your father's group. He is credited as the composer and the vocalist on the record. The record has always been rather mysterious to us, because it obviously wasn't made in Chicago and the owners of Aristocrat must have picked it up from a source in Southern California. If your father is interested in talking to us the record, we would love to talk to him. Sincerely, Robert Campbell Red Saunders Research Foundation Dear Ms. Momen,
