Hello,
This is my favorite version of "Puttin' on the ritz" but I don't who is singing:

Can you help me to identify the group and singer ?
The song is very nice to dance Balboa.
I got the song on a bootleg CD from a south france dance camp a few years ago.

I am almost 80% sure its Alice Spencer...I am basing it on how much i loved hearing it once at a dance and I pestered the dj for the name. He said it was Alice Spencer, so I went online and the cd wasnt being made anymore, and she never responded to any messages I sent her. the song had eluded me for a year as a result. Great Tune!

I can say with 100% certainty, since I do own the CD, that this is:
"Puttin' On The Ritz" by Victrola (Yes, Alice Spencer is the vocalist)

Their "Victrola" album. They were an Austin band.

And the album is notoriously difficult to get a hold of nowadays. There are one or two threads burried in this very forum about searching for it.
(That said, if anyone wants to part with a copy...)
