“Roll 'Em Girls” by Jack Shilkret's Orchestra 1925
Vocalist: Billy Murray
Victor 19922-A

Jack Shilkret was Nathaniel Shilkret’s younger brother. He recorded quite a number of sides and even played piano on some of Nathaniel’s recordings. There is much less information about him online I suspect because he was overshadowed by his older brother.

DAHR Link:

b. 13 October 1896, New York, USA, d. 16 June 1964, New York, USA. The younger brother of Nat Shilkret, Jack was a pianist and dance band leader in the 20s and 30s. He worked on the radio show Bond Bread Tea Shop with Julia Sanderson and Frank Crumit, wrote the music for some minor films, and composed several popular songs, including ‘Make Believe’, ‘Lazy Summer Moon’, ‘April Showers Bring May Flowers’, ‘Just Another Kiss’, ‘Copenhagen Love Song’, and ‘She’s The Daughter Of K-K-K-Katy’.

Thank you for putting the spotlight on Nat’s brother, who’s always been a mystery to me. Now I know what there is to know—and the song is certainly fun!
