G. I. Jill was a DJ for the Armed Forces Radio Service and her G. I. Jive radio show was eagerly anticipated by G. I.s all over the world.  Her "girl next door" charm and very sexy voice made her the most popular AFRS DJ ever.  This show starts with Benny Goodman playing Why Don't You Do Right sung by Peggy Lee and Mel Blanc is next, saving Dinah Shore for last.  Great show and Jill's signature sign-off is worth the wait.  Her programs are 15 minutes long and YouTube only allows a 10 minute video so I clipped a couple songs, but the show is still very good!  Enjoy!
