 Billboard's review of The Marshalls' disc will not have helped its sales:

 Review
The "A" side of this single, "Do You Miss Your Sweetheart?", is a sentimental ballad about separation. It is taken at a slow tempo, to a fox trot arrangement, and the band led by Jurgens is augmented to good effect by vocal input from Harry Cool. Rather surprisingly, this disc failed to chart in the U.S. for Jurgens, who was then (1942) at the zenith of his career. The flip side is quicker in pace, a spirited version of one of Rodgers' & Harts' lesser-known compositions "Ever'thing I've Got", which appeals to me more than the top side because it's got more spark.

The song "Do You Miss Your Sweetheart?" was also recorded by a mixed-gender vocal group called The Marshalls, released on the Hit label in 1942 in competition with Jurgens' take on the song. Theirs is a smooth choral version, in the style of the Ray Charles Singers, with an appropriately restrained arrangement, and I prefer it to Jurgen's version because, in my opinion, the simplicity of the track enhances the appealing melody. The flip side of the Marshalls' disc, "Under A Strawberry Moon," is an attractive rhythmic number, also delivered in an unembellished fashion. Unfortunately this record bombed, and it is on neither this website nor YouTube.
