Frankie Yankovic

One of the men responsible for the tremendous new found popularity of the polka was “Frankie Yankovic”. Yankovic was a great favorite of folks in hundreds of cities including Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Cleveland. His appearance at dance hall or ballroom in any one of these areas was sure to be a sellout. Polka fans recognized his charming and smooth technique on the accordion just as jazz lovers recognized the incomparable trumpet of Louis Armstrong. He occupies the throne in the polka field. This fast stepping, happy go lucky recording is sure to create a sensation.
