Lou Gold Orchestra - Louise

  • 15 years ago
Although largely forgotten today, Lou Gold was a very popular orchestra leader during the 1920s. He was born Lewis Milton Goldwasser in 1894, and mainly active in the New York area during the 1920s and 1930s as a composer, pianist and orchestra leader. His orchestra made several recordings both with his own name and with different pseudonyms, depending on what label the recordings were made for. He died in 1950 and during his life he worked with artists like Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Abe Lyman and many others. I've been searching longtime for this rare song. The title may sound familiar, and of course the 1929 Robin/Whiting song is very famous. This, however, is a 1928 Johns composition. The recording was made the same year, with vocal by Irving Kaufman.
