Pretty easy discographic information, that. “Carl Fenton” was, of course, the extraordinarily talented Gus Haenschen who did almost everything. You can read about him in this article I wrote: syncopatedtime...

The 1984 song Footloose was For Dancing, too!

@@d.a.elliottjr.367 I’m sure Carl Fenton’s Orchestra would have done a great job with that song as well 😀 Thanks for listening!

Carl Fenton's Orchestra was one of Brunswick's best. He seemed to disappear by the Depression. I don't care for the lyrics, but the vocalist sounds familiar. An example of Brunswick's early electrical sound.

@@rjtwigg1 I agree on all counts. Gus Haenschen (AKA Carl Fenton) was seriously talented at arranging, conducting, and overall recording and production.

Irving Kaufman- Jack's brother- was the "Vocal Chorus".
