Manhattan Musicians - Some Day In June

This seems to be a pseudonym of Sam Lanin, who In 1912 played in Victor Herbert's orchestra. Lanin joined the Roseland Ballroom in late 1918. From then on, he recorded with many bands. He entered into a sponsorship with Bristol-Myers for their toothpaste, Ipana; as a result, his ensemble was renamed The Ipana Troubadors. In 1928 and 1929 Lanin recorded with Bing Crosby. The 1929 stock market crash hit Sam Lanin hard, unlike his brother Lester; in 1931 he lost his contract with Bristol-Meyers, his radio show and the name Ipana Troubadors. By the middle of the 1930s, Sam was spending much of his time cutting transcription discs. He retired from the music business by the end of the 1930s. He was essentially forgotten at the same time his brother Lester went on to stardom. He died in 1977, having never returned to music. This recording was made in 1928. Vocal by Scrappy Lambert. It should be noted this record is not listed in Rust. I has been suggested too this might be Adrian Schubert.
