SInce my great grandpa was Don Dewey I have a CD of over 24 songs by the Thies Orchestra from a bunch of 78s my friend and I have. If there is one you are looking for let me know.
Pax, I love her, her voice seems timeless. This wonderful orchestration and her vocal seem so modern. Thank you for another glorious Jane Froman vocal and this Henry Thies's sophisticated rendition.
Yes,committing suicide is always a sad case. There was some talk with collectors that it was over a woman. I haven't been able to verify that. This band had such a full rich sound too bad it didn't record more.
Did not know that part of the story. As for recordings, I believe they made 11 records with Victor. I only have two in my collection. I have been trying to locate the others.
...and I thought Kate Smith's version on Harmony couldn't be "topped"!

This is one of my favourite bands! I also like his 1930 recording of "June Kisses", again with Jane Froman as the vocalist.

I agree, this is one the best early 30's bands. He started before then but I like his later music the best.

My grandma left me many 78rpm disks, many of them are from Henry Thies and/or Jane Froman. I played them since I was ten and I loved them instantly.

Are you talking about uploading a song or selling one of your 78's?

Thies had one of the finest 30's bands I have ever heard. Died tragically at a young age.

I read about his death. It seems that he battled with depression, a bad case at that.
