The Rhythm Maniacs (Arthur Lally's Orchestra) with Vocal Refrain -- Sweet Jennie Lee (W.Donaldson) Decca 1932 (UK) NOTE: Arthur Lally's band belongs to one of many almost completely forgotten British dance orchestras of the early-mid 1930s. Like Harry Bidgood's, Arthur Rosebury's, Jay Wilbur's, Jack Leon's or the long string of others, Arthur Lally's orchestra was a magnificent, highest class dance band. Arthur Lally was a saxophonist and he was present on records predominantly on Decca label and sometimes under aliases (Decca-Dents, The Rhythm Maniacs). In the 1930s Arthur Lally's bands gained considerable popularity and high sales rate - which has to be taken as huge success in the Golden Era of British dance bands and the tough competition with such geniuses of British dance music as Ray Noble, Harry Roy, Bert Ambrose, Jack Hylton, Jack Payne or Billy Cotton (and dozens of others). In spite of this, Arthur Lally unexpectedly ceased his career in 1939 by committing suicide under the wheels of the underground train.
