George Raft's Record Collection

I recall that some years ago I read (can't remember where) that George Raft had a record collection. I think Bogart was a jazz/swing fan (me too), but have often wondered what Raft's taste in music ran to. I know George used Sweet Georgia Brown as a signature tune. Wouldn't it be nice if, somehow, we could browse that record collection!

Dolores Fuller (who dated George Raft in the 50s and wrote the Afterword to my Raft bio) did tell me that he did have a large "eclectic" record collection and a state-of-the-art high-fidelity system. Also a hardwood floor that he used for dancing to his recordings.
