Comments
American bandleader called "The King of Society Dance Music" born in Philadelphia to an immigrant Russian Jewish family. By 1909 he had entered music professionally as a drummer in the orchestra at the Crystal Palace movie theater. He organized his first dance band of his own at 17 and spent the next 72 years leading bands like The Howard Lanin Orchestra, a group that performed show tunes, waltzes and sweet jazz.
