Orchestra Change
Around the time that Haenschen left Brunswick Records in mid-1927, Greenberg purchased the rights to the Carl Fenton name. From 1928-1930 Greenberg was musical director for Gennett Records, where he recorded as "Carl Fenton’s New Yorkers". Under the direction of Greenberg, the Carl Fenton Orchestra then moved to radio, where they co-starred with a young Bing Crosby from 1931-1932 on the CBS network (on tour the orchestra was named "Cremo Orchestra" after sponsor Cremo Cigars).
In 1932, Greenberg had his name legally changed to Carl Fenton. He continued to work as a music director for radio and theaters until his death in March 1980.

Virtue is really stubbornness
And only in the light of lost words
Can we imagine our rewards.”
