This goes way, way back....I found a website that has recordings made by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra/band, mostly in the 1920s and '30s...
One recording was made for Victor in 1924 called "Mr. Radio Man"... It was only an instrumental, with no singing on it... Does anyone know where I can find or get the lyrics to this song? Thanks. Jim |

| Yes! I have it on an old Bell 78rpm record. Send me your address and I'll make you a tape. |

Thanks Ted, I really appreciate you doing that.
I happen to have the cover of the sheet music for this song, only the cover though! It says the song was sucessfully introduced by Margie Coates, and shows a drawing of a little girl standing in front of a 1920s radio, with a horn speaker next to it.

| The song itself is really a tear-jerker. The little girl, as I recall, is asking "Mr. Radio Man" |
