Page "Fletcher Henderson" Paragraph 22

Although Fletcher's band was very popular, he had little success managing the band.

But much of his lack of recognition outside of Harlem had to do more with the times in which he lived, and the hard times that resulted after the 1929 stock market crash.

However, because many of Henderson's records ( Columbia, Brunswick, Vocalion, Victor and those issued on the many of the dime store labels ) still turn up at junk stores, flea markets, collectors stores and on eBay and on private record auctions, there's no denying how popular his band was, regardless of his management difficulties.
