Vincent Lopez’s zodiac sign is Capricorn. According to astrologers, Capricorn is a sign that represents time and responsibility, and its representatives are traditional and often very serious by nature. These individuals possess an inner state of independence that enables significant progress both in their personal and professional lives. They are masters of self-control and have the ability to lead the way, make solid and realistic plans, and manage many people who work for them at any time. They will learn from their mistakes and get to the top based solely on their experience and expertise.
Vincent Lopez was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
Sadly little known and under-appreciated today, Brooklyn-born Lopez was already leading his own band by age 22 and was one of the first well-known band leaders to emerge in the 1920's, thanks to his exposure on the new medium of radio.
In his day, he was as widely known as 'Paul Whiteman'; the both of them among the first to keenly utilize radio as a means of self-promotion. Lopez' trademark song was "Nola" (by Felix Arndt) that was invariably accompanied by his familiar "Lopez speaking!" intro, and with it, his popularity continued well into the 1940's.
Numerous now-famous musicians passed through his band's ranks, including Artie Shaw, Mike Mosiello, Xavier Cugat, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey and even Glenn Miller. He is credited with giving Betty Hutton her first big break and both were showcased in two Warner Brothers Vitaphone shorts shot in New York in 1938-9, the latter one featuring the 18-year old Hutton doing a wildly enthusiastic jitterbug rendition of "Old Man Mose" that has to be seen to be believed.
Lopez and his band took up residence in the Big Apple's Taft Hotel in 1941, remaining there until the early 1960's. Lopez would retire to Florida and died there in 1975.
