[7] While Tobin was singing with Bobby Hackett's band at Nick's in Greenwich Village, jazz critic and producer John Hammond heard her and brought Benny Goodman to a performance of hers.
In 1946, she performed with Skippy Anderson's Band at the Melodee Club in Los Angeles, and, in 1950, she recorded "Sunny Disposish" with Ziggy Elman and His Orchestra.
After a long hiatus spent raising her two boys, Tobin accepted an invitation from jazz critic and publisher George Simon to sing at the 1962 Newport Jazz Festival, where she met her future husband, clarinetist Peanuts Hucko.
[2] The Whitney Balliett review of the festival published in The New Yorker included the statement: "Louise Tobin sings like the young Ella Fitzgerald".
They married in 1967 and moved to Denver, Colorado, where they were co-owners and the house band of the Navarre Club.
In 1974, Hucko led the Glenn Miller Orchestra, touring worldwide with Tobin singing.
In 1992, Starline Records issued Swing That Music, including a vocal duet with Hucko and Tobin singing "When You're Smiling".
