Why Have You Forgotten Waikiki<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Both of these peppy Ben Selvin sides feature uncredited vocals and ukulele solos by Eddie Walters. \u00a0I have never been able to find much in the way of biographical information about Walters but\u00a0he appeared in\u00a0vaudeville and was briefly popular on radio in the very early 1930s.<\/p>\n
If you listen carefully you will be able to hear Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman, both of whom were in high demand as sidemen in the New York City recording studios of various labels in the late ’20s and early ’30s before eventually fronting their own bands in the subsequent\u00a0swing and big band eras.<\/p>\n
