s coast to coast, and is so much in de
mand that it is almost impossible
! for hint to fulfill half the engage- i
| merits offered.
I ' Chick's early life is just as col- ]
j orful as his quick - rise to fame.
t Born in Baltimore, Md., February
10, 1000, Chick was a drummer

newspapers until he sajyed-enough ^
^__money to buy himself a set of F
drums, which cost him exactly t

Duke finally sigr\W_contracts f?ti c
two jobs and insisted that Wfebt
v take one with his own band, anc
0 thus Chick Webb and his orchestra
wpr(. born.
e In 1020 Chick invaded New York
1 and was immediately given a 5?^" ~i
l* at the then very popular Bin [l
^ Bottom Club. From there he-went \
f" to the Paddock club and then was
spotted by Moe Gale and signed
to play at Harlem's famous Savgy
* Ballroom.
* While at the Savoy, Chick ajta
tended one of the Apollo Theatre ~
1 Amateur nights in Harlem and ^
' heard a shy. timid girl sing and o
J' get the gong. Chick got her namP $
, and address from the manager and o
