I had a chance to listen to "John and Marsha" recently, and got to wondering who the voices were.
Wikipedia claims Freberg did both the man and the woman, but believe they're conflating the Capitol record with the solo standup act where Freberg developed the concept. There's no citation for the voice credit 'fact' on Wikipedia.
Besides, while Freberg was a fairly talented vocal comedian, his trick voices tended to be recognizable. Even the Warner Brothers ones.
The record label itself doesn't credit the performers. Just SF and the two musicians who scored the piece. There's also nothing about credits on the Demento database.
My best guess is that John was Daws Butler. I have a hard time, though, assigning the usual suspect June Foray for the woman... I hear more of an alto cast. (Though not so alto that it could be a guy. I've known pro actresses who worked in exactly the same range, and with the same resonances, as Marsha.)
So anybody have any info or opinions?
The depth of production experience on this board goes way back. But I'd be amazed if there's anyone here who was a Capitol in 1951...
