Not for the first time,  Prof. Lennick has hit it.  I checked my Tom Stacks 
vocals and the earliest are from'26...and I recalled the Waring Victor of 
"I've Got Some Lovin' To Do" as having a Poley vocal...which it does,  a 
strange sort of half-chorus (the full band sings a chorus at the end of the 
record).  There are others from around then where he makes a few grunts and 
groans,  but this is a real vocal.

The Waring side (Vi 19913-B) was recorded in Camden,  12-16-25...so Poley 
and dl win the contest.
