Harold "Scrappy" Lambert

Harold "Scrappy" Lambert

Real Name:

Harold Rodman Lambert

Profile:

American vocalist who appeared on hundreds of recordings from the 1920's into the 1940's, including under a large number of pseudonyms.

Born on May 12, 1901 in New Brunswick, NJ.
Died on November 30, 1987 in Riverside, CA.

In early 1925, "Scrappy" Lambert and Billy Hillpot, both recent Rutgers graduates, teamed up to do a comedy routine called "The Two Smith Brothers, Trade and Mark". This was a spoof on the famous bearded twins that appeared for decades on the logo of Smith Brothers' Cough Drops, on which the word "Trade" appeared under William Smith's face and "Mark" under Andrew Smith's face. Their Smith Brothers comedy program was broadcast weekly on NBC radio.

From 1926 until 1928, Lambert sang with Ben Bernie And His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra.
