Weems' work in music was recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he and his brother Art organized a small dance band. That became the "All American Band". The All American Band soon started receiving offers to perform in well-known hotels throughout the United States. Weems was a Victor band from 1923 through 1933, He then signed with Columbia for 2 sessions in 1934 and subsequently signed with Decca from 1936. Weems moved to Chicago with his band around 1928. The Ted Weems Orchestra had more chart success in 1929 with the novelty song "Piccolo Pete", which rewarded him with his second Gold Record, and the #1 hit "The Man from the South". The band gained popularity in the 1930s, making regular radio broadcasts. These included Jack Benny's Canada Dry program on CBS and NBC during the early 1930s, and the Fibber McGee & Molly program in the late 1930s. Despite this surfeit of popularity, the hits dried up after 1947. Weems toured until 1953. At that time he accepted a disc jockey position in Memphis, Tennessee. He later moved on to a management position with the Holiday Inn hotel chain. Ted Weems died of emphysema in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1963.
