 The Young Perry Como ~ Ted Weems, 1984
Weems, a college man who had started on violin, switched to trombone and, realizing his own limitations, had settled for a baton, devoted most of his time to dates in the Midwest, especially in and around Chicago, where he was starred at several hotels and the Aragon and Trianon ballrooms.
Weems was in a good mood in Warren, Ohio, the night in 1936 when he offered Como a job.
Weems had recorded it back in 1933, but for some inexplicable reason, the novelty version, with it’s washboard rhythm sound and Tanner’s homespun whistling, suddenly caught on fourteen years later and within a few weeks Ted had a huge, full-sized hit record on his hands.

While there may not be many people walking around today who even remember the Ted Weems Orchestra, there are a great number, I’d wager, who remember his male vocalist, a fellow named Perry Como, who passed away in May six days before his eighty—ninth birthday.
Because radio time was limited and Weems seldom lingered more than two minutes or so on a given number, no less than seventeen songs (sometimes separated by awkward banter between Weems and Moore) are squeezed into the album’s 39:14 playing time.
The orchestra sounds largely generic, and the album’s main points of interest are Tanner’s remarkable whistling (an art that seems almost to have vanished) and the early vocal development of soon—to—be superstar Perry Como.

Tracks 2, 3, 12, 14, 17, 19, 20, 22 and 24 were not hits for Ted.
I also doubt very much that the the others represent the original versions of his hits - mostly from the 1920s and 1930s -and are, rather, re-recordings done later in the 1940s.
