Songwriter Loyce Whiteman was vocalist with Gus Arnheim and His Cocoanut Grove Orchestra.  You can listen to her duet with Bing Crosby (his first duet with a female singer), singing "Ho-Hum" HERE on YouTube.  In 1931, Loyce married  Harry Barris, a songwriter, musician, and actor, who worked a lot with Bing Crosby.  (they divorced in 1946)  They had only one child, Frances Maurine, also known as Marti.

 

Marti Barris  (1938-1995)  recorded pop songs in the late 50s and 1960s but never had a big hit.  She was a guest on several variety shows in the late 50s. She appeared on "The Bob Crosby Show," "American Bandstand," "Music on Ice" and "The Lawrence Welk Show" as well as being a regular cast member of "Howdy Doody" playing the character "Peppi Mint."

Who were the Cruisers, I don't known.  Two singles by The Cruisers were issued, the following year,  on the newly formed Doré Records, but it's a different group comprising LA session men (?).  'Rendezvous 22'  (Doré 500) was purchased from Wayne Shanklin.
