Harold Arlen Bio:
An American songwriting legend and son of a cantor, Harold Arlen was fascinated early in his life with the sound of ragtime. While singing in his father's synagogue he also played ragtime piano in local Buffalo bands and accompanied silent films. After arranging for the Buffalodians, Arlen moved to New York. His jobs included arranging for Fletcher Henderson and serving as a rehearsal pianist for radio and theater. A vamp he devised while practicing was later turned into the song "Get Happy," with lyrics from Ted Koehler.
Arlen and Koehler wrote eight revues for the Cotton Club, one of which included the anthem "Stormy Weather," first performed by Ethel Waters. Though he moved to Hollywood in the '30s, Arlen kept penning songs for Broadway, working with other lyricists like Dorothy Fields, Leo Robins, Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, and Ira Gershwin as well as Koehler.
His list of hits and accomplishments is amazing; they include songs for the films Take a Chance, Star-Spangled Rhythm, The Sky's the Limit, and his most famous, The Wizard of Oz. Arlen also composed tunes for the plays Earl Carroll Vanities, Rhythm Mania, and St. Louis Woman. The incredible array of unforgettable compositions includes "I've Got the World on a String," "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues," "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "It's Only a Paper Moon," and "Over the Rainbow."
Numerous jazz artists have recorded his songs, as well as pop performers across the spectrum. Arlen made a few recordings as a performer, among them sessions with Duke Ellington (Leo Reisman) and Barbra Streisand.

SUPER! THANKS FOR SHARING.
That,s my Dad, Ivor Mairants, and I remember the Roy Fox musicians being my "uncles" when I was a toddler. Sorry to mislead you, David, it was in 1934 that the band started touring. I have consulted my father's autobiography, My Fifty Fretting Years, written when he was 70, and he said that after the trio that became the Fox Cubs joined the band, Roy Fox opened at the Café Anglais in October 1932. They moved to the Kit Kat in January 1933 and the Café de Paris in March 1934. The touring started in May 1934. It was wonderful to see and hear the clip. My mother and I also toured with the band until August 1937 when my father left to settle back in London, and a year later Roy Fox went to Australia.
Great piece of dance band history. I'm sure i heard your Father interviewed on a radio show many years ago (possibly Alan Dell?). He certainly played with all the top names!
Hello, I realize this comment is pretty old but here goes nothing! I'm currently writing a college essay on Roy Fox and his career, and if possible I would love to ask you a bit about your time with his band. My email is in my RUclips bio if you'd like to get in touch. Thank you, Taylor

That's my grandpa Ivor Mairants on the left of the singing trio, amazing to see him when he was so young! My mother says he didn't join till 1934 so may need to check the details.
