"Whispering" is the song that launched Paul Whiteman as the "King of Jazz" shortly after he arrived in New York to record for Victor. His version of "Whispering" is a great dance record, and Paul's career was hot all through the 1920's. Perhaps his biggest milestone was debuting "Rhapsody in Blue" in 1924. He recorded "Rhapsody" acoustically, and again after electric microphones came into general use. Click over to Wikipedia to read a biography for Paul Whiteman.
If you want to know the words to "Whispering," you would be hard pressed to find a better version than the record cut by the "Comedian Harmonists" in 1934. This record was posted by EdmundusRex, and you can click over HERE to read the bio material provided by Mr. Rex with his YouTube upload.
