Billy Banks
Many people thought Billy Banks vocals on these recordings were by Una Mae Carlisle. Banks, was a female impersonator in vaudeville.

These all-star recording sessions were released under a variety of different names that tagged the names of Jack BlandEddie Condon and Billy Banks in front of the word Rhythmakers. Some companies just released the records as the Rhythmakers. In 1938 Pee Wee Russell also released some records as Pee Wee Russell and his Rhythmakers.
