Lead singer, drummer, and sound effects man for many of Harry Reser's late 1920s jazz and novelty bands that included Clicquot Club Eskimos, The Six Jumping Jacks and Harry Reser's Rounders. He sang on hundreds of late-1920s recordings. Tom Stacks was diminutive and just barely weighed 100 pounds. He died in a Chinese restaurant fire as he returned to the burning building to try to recover his drum set.
