“Do Something” – Sam Lanin and his Orchestra (1929)

Sam Lanin’s Orchestra, here playing under the pseudonym John Vincent’s Californians.

Dedicated to Javier Soria Laso, who has been “doing something” about the accuracy of Lanin entries in Johnson-Shirley’s ADBORAF discography this past month. 🫡

He will no doubt have amendments to the credits below, which I welcome. 🙏

Released as Conqueror 7354, Cameo 9158, Romeo 960, Pathé-Actuelle 36990, Perfect 15171, and Lincoln 3185.
