| W.C. Fields & Shirley Ross in The Big Broadcast of 1938 |
Artist of the year : Larry Clinton
Trumpeter, trombonist and clarinetist, Larry Clinton (Brooklyn (NY) 1909 – Tucson (AZ) 1985) became known in the late 20s for the quality of his arrangements. Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong or even BunnyBerigan used fairly regularly his services. He decided however from 1937 to form his own band and started recording for Victor. He quickly pointed out a series of ambitious songs, adapting to swing style tunes borrowed to the classical musical legacy including Claude Debussy or Tchaikovsky.

who, due to her stage ease and sensualism, was to be part in the success of songs like My Reverie or Deep Purple, both ranked at the top of sales.
Song of the year : My Reverie
