The notable bandleader signs his name in black ink
Signatures: "Paul Whiteman" in black ink, 6x4¼. Bandleader Paul Whiteman (1890-1967)
led a U.S. Navy band before forming his own group in San Francisco. In 1920, a year after
he began recording, Whiteman had his first hit with "Whispering". In 1924, he introduced
George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue", which was specially arranged for Whiteman's
35-piece orchestra. Known as "The King of Jazz", Whiteman starred in a film of the same
name in 1930. The film featured one of his newest discoveries, singer Bing Crosby, one of
the many crooners who got their start with Whiteman's orchestra. Whiteman and his
orchestra also appeared in Strike Up The Band (1940), Rhapsody in Blue (1945) and The
Fabulous Dorseys (1947). From 1949-1952, he hosted The Paul Whiteman Goodyear Revue.
