German-born trumpeter Henry Busse emigrated to the USA in 1916 and first played in a cinema house-band before working the West Coast with his own quintet. In 1919 he joined Whiteman and co-wrote the band’s first hit “Wang Wang Blues”. In 1928, he formed his own band at the Chez Paree in Chicago and a decade later was at the Hotel New Yorker, where his “wah-dit-doo” arrangements scored a hit with the elite dancing fraternity. Among several other hits, his version of Harry Warren’s “With Plenty Of Money And You” was a 1937 No. 1.
