Description: Bio GENE AUSTIN (1900-1972) was a popular composer, screen, radio & recording artist during the mid 1920's into the 1930's. He was known as "the voice of the south land" and a pioneer In the "crooning" style of singing. A jazz artist at heart, he was equally at home singing country ballads, blues and spirituals. His improvisational style apparent in his recordings, added a unique flavor to his interpretations. Austin was a nightclub entertainer in the 1930s, but then his career waned. After his life was dramatized in a television special in the late 1950s, he resumed nightclub appearances. He continued to write songs until the last ten months of his life, when he developed lung cancer. Austin spent most of his adult life in Las Vegas, Nevada and in 1962 he ran for governor there, but lost badly to the incumbent, Grant Sawyer. He was married five times. Austin died on January 24, 1972 in Palm Springs, California. This CD includes more of Gene Austin's popular song renditions spanning the years 1928 to 1942 and have become standards over the years.
