Paul Ash Orch. - There Ain't No Maybe In My Baby's Eyes

Paul Ash was born in Germany, died in 1958, in New York City.
Pianist and violinist. Paul's family arrived from Germany to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he formed his first band in 1910. During WWI, Paul served in the U.S. Army; after the war appeared in several silent movies. His first records were made in 1923. For many years, Paul led the house orchestra at the New York's Paramount Theaters, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The band was usually booked into the very large movie houses as the 'pit' orchestra. It was a large orchestra well suited to the old movie palaces that were without PA systems. At one time or another, Red Norvo, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller played in the band. Among the band's vocalists was a young Martha Raye, who also worked in nightclubs with the Louis Prima band. While working at Manhattan's Paramount, he discovered singer Helen Kane.
