Vincent Rose And His Orchestra

Vincent Rose (June 13, 1880 in Palermo, Italy – May 20, 1944 in Rockville Centre, New York, United States) was a popular musician, songwriter and band leader. He achieved stardom with his Montmartre Orchestra in the 1920s, and recorded with the group for [l61808]. The same personnel later recorded for the [l1866] label as the Hollywood Orchestra. After leaving California, he settled in New York and continued to record as "Vincent Rose and His Orchestra" for various labels throughout the 1930s. During this period, his name was also used as a pseudonym on the [l477618] labels for several bands, including [a374400], [a3463207], [a349513] and [a2774833]. In the late 1930s and early 1940s Rose and several of his fellow hitmakers formed a sensational review called Songwriters on Parade, performing all across the eastern seaboard on the Loew's and Keith circuits. In 1970, Rose was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
