KeithS SUBS ● 9th Jul 2013		From a Jim Backus biog on Starpuls "During this period, Backus also released several hilarious novelty pop songs, including "Delicious!" (1958), a woozy instrumental with the actor and an uncredited Phyllis Diller repeating the title word over the sound of tinkling cocktail glasses as they grow gradually more soused until dissolving into helpless giggles by the fadeout." From a biog on Jim's 100th birthday " Jim Backus also made various comedy recordings, including the novelty song "Delicious" with Phyllis Diller, "Cave Man," and others." I was wondering where I Got Dillers name from but there are so many other ideas as to who it could be



VinylSid 26th Feb 2013		Now I'm told she's Lenore Kingston - plot thickens!



zabadak ● 12th Feb 2013		I have it on a Dr. Demento compilation where it is credited as being by "Jim Backus And Friend". Not much help, soz...



KeithS SUBS ● 11th Feb 2013		Seems to be a hot topic...here's a reference to it being Hermione Gingold .http://www.chicagonow.com/booth-reviews/2011/12/song-of-the-day-by-eric-berman-delicious-by-jim-backus-friend/



KeithS SUBS ● 11th Feb 2013		I used to be sure but reading the comments on the net it seems to be doubted nowadays.I'll delete my comment



VinylSid 11th Feb 2013		Are you sure, privatecitizen?. I posted the 7" playing on Youtube as 'with Phyllis Diller' and got loads of comments saying it certainly wasn't. None the wiser, me



KeithS SUBS ● 11th Feb 2013		The "Friend" is supposedly Phyllis Diller edit The "Friend" was always thought to be Phyllis Diller but nowadays is credited to Jim's wife



caseellerbroek 11th Feb 2013		On "A" side, Jim Backus and female friend get drunk. The result- hilarious! ("I even like the cork!).
