The Radio Works of Bob Baily and Dick Powell

March 08, 2016  /  Clyde Kell

Bob Bailey (born Robert Bainter Bailey, June 13, 1913 in Toledo, Ohio – August 13, 1983) was an American actor who performed mostly on radio. In the early 1940s he was regularly featured on network radio programs originating from Chicago. Starting in 1946, Bailey starred as freelance detective George Valentine in the radio drama Let George Do It, but he is best remembered as the title character in the long-running radio series Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

Richard Ewing "Dick" Powell (November 14, 1904 – January 2, 1963) was an American singer, actor, film producer, film director and studio head. Though he came to stardom as a musical comedy performer, he showed versatility and successfully transformed into a hardbitten leadingman starring in projects of a more dramatic nature. He was the first actor to portray theprivate detective Philip Marlowe on screen. Powell was the first actor to play Marlowe on radio, in 1944 and 1945. He also played the slightly less hard-boiled detective Richard Rogue in the radio series "Rogue's Gallery", beginning in 1945. From 1949–1953, Powell played the lead role in the NBC radio theater production Richard Diamond, Private Detective. His character in the 30-minute weekly was a likeable private detective with a quick wit. Many episodes ended with Detective Diamond having an excuse to sing a little song to his date, showcasing Powell's vocal abilities.
