(Continued)
BILLY DANIELS (Ralph) is a well-known entertainer in the night clubs and a favorite with discomaniacs for his song recordings. Daniels hails from Jacksonville, Fla. He attended the Florida State College, where he was active in affairs musical and dramatic. Upon graduation, he toured in Europe. Since his return to the United States, shortly before our entry into the war, he has been a featured singer with Duke Ellington's and Erskine Hawkins' bands; conducted his own radio show and entertained at Spivy's Roof, the Park Central, the Onyx Club and Hollywood's Trocadero.
