What D'Ya Say--Paul Whiteman and His Orch. (Ben Selvin), 1928
From 7/12/1928, a fine Grofe arrangement for a 78 credited to Paul Whiteman but performed by an unknown orchestra directed by Ben Selvin, says Brian Rust. So it goes, sometimes. According to the DAHR, Irving Kaufman is the vocalist, though Brian Rust gives no credit, with Kaufman showing up on the next session (July 20).

@@savio807 I was told that the sleeve in particular was only limited to Australian-only records and is really valuable if it's in exceptionally good condition.

Thanks. And I see that the DAHR credits Kaufman, but Rust's discography leaves the vocalist unidentified. Anyway, I'll update my writeup.

It's *Kaufman.* You can't mistake his "belt it out" singing style! Why Selvin? Whiteman owed Columbia several sides that summer, and couldn't record them at the time.

You're welcome! A "ghost" orchestra was the only way Columbia could achieve their quota of Whiteman releases that summer.
