“CHAMPAGNE MUSIC” MAN BORN IN 1903

Bandleader LAWRENCE WELK - Photo Signed

On March 11, 1903, musician and entertainer Lawrence Welk 
was born.

For the generation that grew up on the big bands of the 1930s
and ’40s, The Lawrence Welk Show was a blessed island of
calm in a world gone mad for rock and roll, and it aired like
clockwork every Saturday night from 1955 to 1982. On KTLA.
ABC and Syndication.

When ABC dropped The Lawrence Welk Show in 1971, Welk independently arranged a syndication deal that kept him on
the air for another 11 years and made him one of the richest
entertainers in America.
