Career
editBorn in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Marshall sang as a baritone[1] with the Metropolitan Opera from 1927 to 1931.[2] He moved into lighter musical productions, appearing in George White's Scandals in 1931 and both the Ziegfeld Follies and Calling All Stars in 1934.[3][4] Three of the songs that he debuted in these shows became standards that were later recorded by many artists: "The Thrill Is Gone" (with Rudy Vallée, September 14, 1931), "Wagon Wheels" (January 4, 1934), and "What Is There to Say?" (with Jane Froman, January 4, 1934).[5]
He acted and sang in several films, including 1930's Dixiana as leading man Carl Van Horn,[6] and 1935's I Live for Love as Roger Kerry.[7] Throughout the 1940s he performed with touring companies of vintage operettas such as Blossom Time and The Student Prince, sometimes paired with Ann Pennington.[8]
Marshall died in Carmel, California in 1965, age 63.[9]
