Random Page  /  Random Song


Both sides of this were originally recorded in 1934. Not only was it one of american-Decca's first hits and popular records, but also recorded for ARC labels, Columbia, and others within the same week. It was re-released up until the early 1950s on 45s as well.

Henry Busse was an american composer, trumpeter, and bandleader from the mid 1920s to the mid 1940s. He's one of the many people who basically got their career started from Paul Whiteman. Adding to why Paul Whiteman is the king of normal jazz. But Busse is more than that, he had his own career with several other bands as well as his own bands including Busse's Buzzards, The Virginians, and His Main orchestra.

His main orchestra formed in 1926, after he left Paul Whiteman's Orchestra. But he wouldn't actually get his first records until 1928 on Victor. Recording into the early 30s with them. In 1931 he would start recording with the ARC for various labels including Conqueror and Melotone, and would increase as time goes by. That year recording HIS first recording of his signature song Hot Lips. He did this while still with Victor. In 1934 when the small UK label Decca came over to america, Henry was one of the first people to start recording there. Recording there usually, but occasionally recording on Columbia on and off every few years until 1942 when the Petrillo Ban Started. The Petrillo Ban severely crippled his orchestra. He was only able to cut a few V-Disc records during it and wouldn't have another chance to record until 1945 on Cosmo. Then in 1946 he would cut a few records for 4 Star and Vitacoustic before they would brake up in 1948.

He had a respectable amount of hits with his orchestra. Those were With Plenty Of Money And You in 1937, Hot Lips in 1934 and charting again in 1940, Tu-Li Tulip in 1938, All I Do Is Dream Of You in 1934, Satisfied in 1929, I'm Through With Love in 1931, Bambina in 1938, I'm Gonna Lock My Heart in 1938, and My Last Goodbye in 1939.
