 | | Lewis was signed to Columbia Records, not yet the giant it was to become but still an important label, in 1919, and released his first single, "Wond'ring" b/w "Blues My Naughty Sweety Gives Me," in October of that year. | | | It's difficult to believe, based on a paltry pair of compact discs of Ted Lewis' music that exist, that from the beginning of the '20s until the mid-'30s, he was one of the most popular music acts in the world, cutting million-selling records when those scarcely happened more than once a year. | | | It's even harder to comprehend that Lewis maintained an active recording, radio, movie, television, and concert career for 50 years, 1917 to 1967, and enjoyed respect from members of the jazz community that was unique for a leader of a dance band. |

| | TED LEWIS (MUSICIAN) FACTS AND INFORMATION |
| | By 1919 Lewis was leading his own band, and had a recording contract with Columbia_Records, which marketed him as their answer to the Original Dixieland Jass Band who recorded for Victor records. | | | Lewis's catch-phrase was cheerfully asking the audience, "Is Everybody Happy?" Lewis participated in three sound films using this title from 1929 to 1943. | | | He led a band presenting a combination of jazz, hokey comedy, and schmaltzy sentimentality that was a hit with the American public. |

| | Ted Des Plantes is a well known master of stride piano and of the distinctive piano style of Jelly Roll Morton. | | | The band's most versatile musician, he adds a second clarinet to the front line and also plays banjo and guitar in Dave's absence. | | | He alternates between the punch of an Ome banjo, the singing quality of a 1927 National tenor guitar, or the four-four drive of a 1936 Gibson tenor guitar, depending on the demands of the tune at hand. |

| | From the nature of his wound police were inclined to believe he was struck by a blunt instrument rather than by a hit-and-run automobile. | | | My guess is that, normally, when someone is found unconscious and lying on the street, two hypotheses come to the mind of a cop: the individual has been mugged and robbed or he/she was the victim of a hit and run. | | | At the inquest it was brought out the musician had over $100 in cash on his body removing theft as a possible motive. |
