Fran Frey (December 23, 1903 in Indiana - December 1, 1962 in California) was a singer and saxophonist best known for his work for George Olsen and His Music in the 1920s and early 1930s.[3] Among his better known songs is "The Varsity Drag" of 1927; "Big City Blues" of 1929; "A Garden in the Rain", also of 1929. Frey sang on 77 songs with the George Olsen band, both as recordings and on the radio. One song, entitled "Who?", sold more than a million recordings. Frey was heard on the Oldsmobile Program on CBS radio in 1933. Although he played for several other bands after Olsen's, including Victor Young's,[9] he never achieved the level of fame he had in earlier years. Frey died suddenly of a heart attack at his home on December 2, 1962, age 58. At the time of his death, he was writing music for the Ice Capades and for Columbia Pictures.
