"Ti-Pi-Tin, the Sensational Waltz Song," 1938
Add to SetSummary
In 1938, "Ti-Pi-Tin" became Mexican composer Maria Grever's first big hit after moving to America. Finding no interest, Grever published it herself. Bandleader Horace Heidt heard the song and recognized its possibilities. His orchestra played it on NBC radio--immediately launching the song to success and creating a demand for sheet music. To keep up, Grever allowed Leo Feist Inc. to publish it.
