Born: September 16, 1898
Died: September 15, 1981
Popular singer of vocal refrains in jazz and dance band records, most prolific during the 1930s. His voice is heard on over 500 tunes recorded primarily for the American Record Corporation conglomeration of labels (e.g. Melotone, Perfect, Banner, Oriole, Romeo).
Bullock was mostly a freelance vocalist, who sang with various backing orchestras on hundreds of sessions, including some by Duke Ellington, Luis Russell, Cab Calloway, Bunny Berigan, Bill Coleman, Jack Teagarden, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Joe Venuti, and Eddie Lang.
He rarely performed live, due to a disfiguring eye disease. His recording career ended in the 1940s, whereupon he moved to California and took up real estate. |
