Random Page  /  Random Song


Ferde Grofe’s arrangement of a DeSylva-Brown-Henderson song from “George White’s Scandals.”

Here’s the story per Johnson-Shirley’s ADBORAF(1915-1942) regarding this and the also-posted tracks “Pickin’ Cotton” ( https://youtu.be/-xrn99GM-9s ) and “If You Don’t Love Me” ( https://youtu.be/T2WHTUaq-jE ) recorded at the Selvin sessions of July 2 and July 20, 1928: Although “credited to Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra, in fact they were made by Ben Selvin and an unidentified orchestra using arrangements by Ferde Grofe and Bill Challis from the Whiteman library, and played by a similar instrumentation. (These were recorded to fulfil a contractual agreement that Whiteman was unable to manage).”

From 78rpm Columbia ‘potato-head’ 1465-D - What D’Ya Say? (DeSylva-Brown-Henderson) by “Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra” (Ben Selvin), vocal by Irving Kaufman, recorded in NYC July 2, 1928
