Description
VINCENT LOPEZ - pianist, stalwart bandleader - future employer of Betty Hutton! - had a great and vastly popular band for about thirty years (1920 - 1950). He was one of the people who kept Paul Whiteman on the alert!
On this very peppy record, Lopez assays the George Gershwin song, from "Tell Me More," "WHY DO I LOVE YOU?" It's a "Gershwin Tune" that NOBODY loved, apparently, for this is one of the few records of it, and it never was revived. "SING-LOO," on the flip, is yet another bit of Chinoiserie, an "Oriental Fox Trot," of which the public seemed never to tire.
This original 1925 maroon OKeh 40370 is largely in clean EE- condition, except for a couple of pits on "Why."

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
