Anybody remember G I Jill? She was a disc jockey for the Armed Forces Radio Service in the 1940s-1950s and was without a doubt the most popular of all DJs. Her programs G I Jive and Jill's Juke Box were recorded in Los Angeles and sent to anywhere there were American servicemen to listen. The programs were transferred to 16" 33 rpm radio transcription discs/records and played at every U S military base around the world. She was sweet, sexy, and the "girl next door" type. Little wonder she was popular. Her famous sign-off remark was eagerly anticipated by everyone.

This is the G I Jive show from about 1949, program 2224. These programs were 15 minutes long, but to accomodate YouTube's limit of 10 minutes or less per video, I sort of edited this to fit. Anyway, it should bring back some fond memories to anyone who ever heard her on the radio.
