Brannum was born in Sandwich, Illinois in 1910. In the 1940s and 1950s, he appeared on the radio as the bass player for Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. On the radio and on 78-rpm Records , he also told stories about "Little Orley," a farm kid. These stories led to him getting the role of Mr. Green Jeans from 1955 to 1984 . Brannum died in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania in 1987. TRIVIA There is a long-running but incorrect Rumor that Brannum was the father of musician Frank Zappa , apparently because one of Zappa's compositions is titled ''Son of Mr. Green Genes'' EXTERNAL LINKS |
