It was 1942. The world was at war and Eddie Sparks was on top. Nobody could out-sing, out-step, or out-charm Eddie, America’s premier entertainer…until Dixie Leonard came along. Together they entertained American troops in times of war and peace. For over 30 years, three wars, and hundreds of shows…they did it all “For the Boys.”
