Title: Whispering Jack & Peggy 'O'
Description: Whispering Jack Smith was a nationally famous radio broadcaster and vaudeville star. Sweet Peggy O'Neil was a stage and silent movie star. We sing the ballad about her every Saint Patrick's Day. Their paths crossed in the early 1920s, leading to a relationship of romance and heartbreak lasting almost two decades. This never before told story is theirs. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
