Not listed here, of course, is the budget LP by Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan “Swingin’ & Singin’” (Guest Star G 1418 / GS 1418), which also includes four selections (Drum Hum Ho, Jane, Dark Dawn, and Green Pink & Plaid) by the so-called “Fletch Anderson Orchestra,” which when read aloud sounds very much like “Fletcher Henderson.” Note that Guest Star later issued at least one other Sarah Vaughan album which actually said the name “Fletcher Henderson” on the cover.
