American born, British bandleader Roy Fox (1901-1982) began performing at 16 with Lyman's orchestra. He formed his first band in 1920. In 1925 Fox began recording and broadcasting. In 1927, Fox settled into a 15-month schedule of nightly broadcasts from Hollywood's Ambassador Hotel. In 1930 he moved to London. An engagement at the Monseigneur Restaurant began in May 1931, but for health reasons he had to quit. Once recovered, Fox took his band into the Café Anglais and the Kit Kat Club, as well as to Brussels and the London Palladium to give Royal Command Performances. In 1933-34 Fox made his first feature films. After touring the U.K. and Europe, new health problems caused him to break up his band in August 1938. Moving to Australia, Fox led the Jay Whidden Orchestra for a little while, then toured the U.S. In 1946-47, Fox led bands on the Isle of Man and at the Potomac Club in London. In 1952 he opened a booking agency. This hot recording was made in 1933. Vocal by Peggy Dell.
