The orchestra of GusArnheim launched or helped developed many a performer's career, most famous among them Bing Crosby, who got a massive push in the music business when Crosby's sophomore outfit known as the Rhythm Boys cut a handful of sides with the Arnheim Band.
Arnheim eventually was remembered even more for his career as a songwriter than a bandleader, at least in terms of his discography.
Arnheim cruised through the 30's on the popularity of this and his other hits, then decided to modernize the group near the end of the decade, once again making a big impression at an important club, the Congress Casino in Chicago.
