He was from the time when being in entertainment was about having talent rather than a pretty face or big bazongas.

From my hometown of Circleville, Ohio, Ted Lewis was a legend in the 1920s and '30s. I caddied for him once at Pickaway Country Club. "Me and My Shadow" and "When my Baby Smiles at Me" were just two of his many hits.

Ted Lewis (his catchphrase: "Is everybody happy?") was a beloved bandleader-clarinetist-songwri
ter-singer-monologuist with an incredible 102 hits between 1920 and 1938. Started in vaudeville, organized a terrific hot jazz band, eventually evolved in a maker of warm, sentimental nostalgic gems. Hisd theme: "When MyBaby Smiles At Me." His trademark? That battered top hat. Ted also backed Fats Waller, Ruth Etting and Sophie Tucker, among others. He died at 79 in 1971.
Is Everybody Happy!
