Smith Ballew & His Orchestra - Fair And Warmer

  • 15 years ago
Bandleader and vocalist Ballew, who is also singing the chorus, was h. He was an excellent performer who worked with the most diverse jazz and dance bands (Ben Pollack, the Dorsey Brothers...); when the Depression struck very harshly, he could no longer perform as a member of other bands, and founded several bands under his own name, before returning to the Dorsey Orchestra and a little later joning the Glenn Miller Orchestra. This outstanding record was made in 1934.
