Say It Isn't So (Irving Berlin song)
"Say It Isn't So" is a popular song by Irving Berlin, published in 1932.
The song was written when Berlin was suffering a loss of confidence following several setbacks and he initially placed the song in a drawer feeling that it would not be successful.
However one of Berlin’s employees – Max Winslow – heard it and on his own initiative took it to Rudy Vallée, who was then a major star on radio.
Vallee sang it on his radio show and it became an immediate hit.<br

George Olsen and His Orchestra released a version in 1932 that reached #1 and other popular versions in 1932 were by Ozzie Nelson, Connee Boswell and Rudy Vallée.
Alfredo Antonini and his orchestra collaborated with Victoria Cordova and John Serry Sr. to record the work for Muzak in the 1940s.
George Olsen
George Edward Olsen, Sr.
(March 18, 1893 - March 18, 1971) was an American bandleader.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Olsen played the drums and attended the University of Michigan, where he was drum major.
There he formed his band, George Olsen and his Music, which continued in the Portland area.
The group's debut hotel engagement came at the Multnowah Hotel in Portland.
He then made the cross-county transition to Broadway, appearing in "Kid Boots" (1923), the "Ziegfeld Follies of 1924Ziegfeld Follies of 1925", and "Good News" (1927).
George Olsen and his Music were
prolific Victor recording artists and their records are among the most numerous found by record collectors today, testifying to their original popularity.
He and his orchestra were in Eddie Cantor's 1928 Broadway hit "Whoopee!", and in the 1930 movie version.
In the "Follies" George met a singer, Ethel Shutta, who sings and dances memorably in "Whoopee!", and they married, appearing together in nightclubs and on radio.
They had two children, George, Jr. and Charles; following a divorce, Olsen opened a restaurant in Paramus, New Jersey.
Olsen and Shutta were heard on the "Oldsmobile Program" on CBS radio in 1933.
He also was an orchestra leader for "The Jack Benny Program" on radio.
Olsen signed with Victor in 1924 and remained as one of Victor's most popular bands until 1933 when he signed with Columbia.
He stayed with Columbia through January, 1934.
He recorded a single session in 1938 for Decca, and one final date for the rare Varsity label in 1940.
Olsen's bands produced few stars.
Singer-saxophonist Fred MacMurray passed through in 1930 on his way to eventual movie stardom, recording a vocal on "I'm in the Market for You."
Olsen's long-time alto saxist and singer, Fran Frey, with his distinctive, reedy bass-baritone, was perhaps the best known Olsenite until he left in 1933 for a career as a music director in radio.
In 1936, Olsen became leader of Orville Knapp's band after Knapp died in a plane crash.
Olsen was chosen to lead the band by Knapp's widow.
Morale problems plagued the group, and in 1938, after many musicians had already left, the group disbanded.
A resident of Paramus, New Jersey, Olsen ran a popular local restaurant there on Paramus Road for many years before he died there on March 18, 1971.
According to John S. Wilson in "The New York Times", reviewing a retrospective of Olsen's recording "George Olsen and His Music" on RCA-Victor, in 1968, Olsen had a restaurant in Paramus, NJ called "George Olsen's".
Wilson noted that "Olsen is there every day greeting guests at lunch and dinner...

After his divorce from Shutta, Olsen married Claralee Pilcer.
