The esteemed leader of the Nathan Glantz Orchestra came from an era of American musical history when bandleaders merrily churned out as many records as possible -- sometimes under their real names, sometimes under someone else's real name, and sometimes under the name of someone who didn't even exist. In the Roaring Twenties,Glantz had one of the most prominent orchestras in New York City, a result of which was a masquerade along the shelves of what were basically the first private jazz and dance band record collections. The Hollywood Dance Orchestra was quite often the Glantz aggregation, while the Roy Collins Dance Orchestra, behind a series of hits, was a name utilized not only by Glantz but by the Joseph Samuels Orchestra. This was apparently something of a tradition with these bandleaders, as the year before both Glantz and Samuels pretended to be the Continental Dance Orchestra, having not yet discovered the commercial importance of fabricating a bandleader named Roy Collins.
