and his Orchestra with the vocal by Helen Forrest. This was the
last day of recording before a Musician Union’s ban. The song

RECORDED BY HARRY JAMES ON THIS DAY IN 1942
JIMMY HOFFA DISAPPEARED ON THIS DAY IN 1975
Former Teamsters union boss Jimmy Hoffa disappeared at, or sometime after,
2:45 pm on July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox Restaurant
in Bloomfield Township, a suburb of Detroit. He reportedly was to meet there with
two Mafia leaders. Hoffa’s wife contacted police to report him missing when he
failed to return home that evening. When police arrived at the restaurant, they
discovered Hoffa’s car, but there was no sign of Hoffa himself.
An extensive investigation into his disappearance by several law enforcement
agency’s, including the FBI, began immediately, and continued over the next
several years. The investigations failed to learn anything of Hoffa’s fate and
he was declared legally dead in 1982, the seventh anniversary of his
disappearance.
