Bio

Hall was known as "the red-haired music maker" and "the pineapple picador"
in his recording heyday of the 1920s and 1930s. In 1923, he released the song "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'", which sold over two million copies in the
United States. He also wrote songs with Carson Robison and Art Gillham.

He began his career in 1922 Chicago as a song plugger for Forster Music.
He traveled around the country and stopped in towns to play in music stores, theaters, and radio. In vaudeville he began singing and playing the xylophone. He found the ukelele to be more portable and quickly became an expert with that instrument.
In January, 1924 he signed with the National Carbon Company to host the Eveready Hour a pioneer commercially sponsored variety program on WEAF
in New York. Eveready even painted their batteries with a red top to cash in on Hall's popularity. He was married on the air. In 1929 Wendell Hall hosted the Majestic Music Hour and a few years later Gillette's Community Sing.
He made a few musical short films.
After his radio days were over Wendell Hall wrote commercials for radio.

He did some collaborations with Carson Robison, recording versions of Stephen Foster tunes such as "Camptown Races" and "Oh! Susanna".
He made recordings on Victor Records.

Hall performed on a variety of stringed instruments, including the standard ukelele, the taropatch ukelele, banjo, and the hybrid banjolele, as well as the tiple. He published an instruction book, Ukelele Methods, with Forster Music in 1925.
