NOTE: The popularity of the British bandleader Jack Hylton and his orchestra in the United Kingdom and everywhere in the world, where they performed, can be compared only with that of the rock-stars of the 1960s. The concerts, which he gave not only in the music halls but often in the city squares, streets, swimming pools etc. gathered crowds of enthusiasts, especially the youth. With his entrepreneurial skills, Jack Hylton managed to sell almost four million records only in the year 1929!!! (according to the Daily Herald from June 1930). His reputation allowed him to make contacts with famous jazz artists of time, including Duke Ellington in 1933. The band frequently had 'continental tours' which made it famous in various places in Europe, especially in France and in the Nazi Germany. In the 1940s he toured also America and Europe into the 1940s, when it disbanded due to the Second World War.
