Owen Fallon & His Californians - Everything That's Nice Is Yours

Owen Fallon is a bandleader of whom strictly nothing is known. Actually this is an ARC studio band in which Smith Ballew happens to be the protagonist for this session. Smith Ballew was an excellent singer who worked with the most diverse jazz and dance bands (Ben Pollack, the Dorsey Brothers...); when the Depression struck very harshly, he could no longer perform as a member of other bands, and founded several bands under his own name, before returning to the Dorsey Orchestra and a little later joning the Glenn Miller Orchestra. This hot record was made in 1931. Ballew himself interpreted the vocal refrain.
