February 24, 1940: Florida-born Frances Langford records the song "When You Wish Upon a
Star" for Decca Records. The release of Disney's Pinocchio prompts the successful singer-
actress to record her own version of the tune on this day at a session in Los Angeles, California. Eight
years later Langford's singing voice will be used in the Disney animated feature Melody Time. ("The
Sweetheart of the Fighting Fronts," Langford was a World War II heartthrob beloved by troops for her
performances as part of Bob Hope's USO tours.)
