About Arthur Fields
Genre
Jazz
Arthur Fields' prolific career stretched from the Second World War back to the very early days of the recording industry, and he wrote and/or recorded some of the strangest novelty songs of all time, including "Auntie Skinner's Chicken Dinner" and "Where Do the Mosquitoes Go in the Winter Time?" Fields grew up in Utica, New York and began his musical life singing in church. He was already a professional singer at the age of 11. Fields, Harry Carroll, and lyricist Ballard MacDonald launched the compositional boat "On the Mississippi" in 1912. "Aba Daba Honeymoon," which he penned with Walter Donovan, became a hit in 1914. While he enjoyed success as a tunesmith, his real passion was for singing, and he was an in-demand vocalist well into the 1940s.
Arthur Fields has also released music as a member of The California Ramblers.
