Comments and Reviews


DeweyGill SUBS 5th Sep 2024		Speed Riggs was a tobacco auctioneer in the 1930’s, but was made famous after being discovered by the president of American Tobacco Company. His gavel drop “Sold American’’ was a tag line for Lucky Strike cigarettes, who sponsored Kay Kyser’s radio show. Aubrey”Speed” Riggs spent the better part of three decades as the voice of Lucky Strike on the Lucky Strike Hit Parade, and a frequent guest on the Kyser broadcasts. In his heyday, Speed delivered about 470 words per minute. The Wayne County (North Carolina) Public Library has posted an acetate of Speed pre-Kyser in action on YouTube. The video states 1940, I’d put it a bit earlier. Amazing to listen to.
