Gus Van (born August Von Glahn, August 12, 1886 – March 12, 1968), baritone, and Joe Schenck (pronounced "skenk"; born Joseph Thuma Schenck, (June 2, 1891– June 28, 1930), tenor. They were vaudeville stars and made appearances in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1918, 1919, 1920 and 1921. The team made numerous phonograph records for the Emerson, Victor, and Columbia record companies. With Schenck on piano, the duo sang and performed comedy routines. Van was especially adept at dialect humor and could imitate any number of regional and continental accents. One of the team's typical novelty hits was Pastafazoola, in praise of Italian food and sung in the appropriate style. Van's hearty baritone and Schenck's high tenor harmonized well and the team became known as "the pennant-winning battery of songland". They performed on radio shows and appeared in early talking motion pictures, including several musical shorts. Shorts were made for both Vitaphone and MGM Movietone studios. The team also made one feature the MGM film, They Learned About Women (1930). After Schenck's death in 1930 of heart disease, Van continued to perform as a solo artist on stage, screen, and radio. He appeared in many New York-produced Soundies in 1941. This CD presents their 2nd group of recordings recorded from 1918 to 1922. All selections have been digitally restored by Vintage Recordings.
