Frankie Masters Autographs

Frankie Masters (born Frank E. Masterman; April 12, 1904 – October 28, 1990) was a big band leader. Elected to the American Federation of Musicians, Local 10 in Chicago, on February 13, 1924, Masters's performance career endured through the 1970s.
Born in St. Marys, West Virginia, to Alice (née Evans) and William Masterman, Masters graduated from Robinson High School in southern Illinois. He attended Indiana University Bloomington, where he majored in Commerce and led a band that performed at college dances, playing the banjo. During the summer, he found work as a guitarist with the orchestra on the cruise ship S.S. President Madison as it headed for Asia. When he returned, he joined a big band led by Benny Krueger at the Tivoli Theatre in Chicago. There, they would accompany silent films and be featured as an on-stage band between screenings.
He signed with Victor Records in 1927 and began his recording career, but didn't achieve much success until he switched to Vocalion Records in 1939. There he recorded what would become his theme song, "Scatter-Brain," written by Masters and band members Carl Bean and Kahn Keene, with lyrics by Johnny Burke. It was a number one hit for eight weeks in 1939, becoming the #28 song overall on the pop charts that year. Many of these hits incorporated what Masters called "bell tone music," an arrangement gimmick in which chords were staggered, creating, for the time, a trademark sound.
