PAUL "POPS" WHITEMAN
The bandleader signs his name on a set of four U.S. postage
stamps
Stamps signed: "Paul Whiteman", in black ink, 3¼x2. A set of
four 3¢ stamps, each signed separately. 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. Slightly toned. Fine
condition.
