LAWRENCE WELK

Nov. 15, 19'0

“Lawrence Welk, the fabulously successful bandleader who caters primarily to ‘The Geriatric Set’... enjoyed the best of all possible worlds,” according to Parade. At 6', the king of musical corn— whose only training was a mail-order piano-tuning course—was the second wealthiest performer (after Bob Hope) in show business, and after 16 seasons was second only to Ed Sullivan in TV longevity. Two years later, his show would be cancelled. He had one Grammy nomination.
