Career

"Waring's Pennsylvanians" was one of Victor Records' best-selling bands from 1923 to late 1932. Waring abruptly stopped recording in late 1932, but his band continued to tour on radio. "You Gotta Be a Football Hero" was a hit on radio in 1933. Cole Porter's 1930 album "Love for Sale" is one of the few periodized interpretations of this famous song.

The Fred Waring Exhibition was broadcast on radio from 1933 to 1957.

Robert Shaw, who recently dropped out of the Pomona College glee club, was recruited by him to teach his singers. Shaw later founded the Robert Shaw Chorale and conducted the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Pepee Davenport (1911-1985), Waring's pianist and arranger, was Peggy Davenport (1911–1985).

Waring and his company appeared at war bond rallies and entertained the troops in training camps during World War II. He wrote and performed hundreds of patriotic songs, his most popular being "My America." He bought the Buckwood Inn in Shawnee, Pennsylvania, and renamed the resort the Shawnee Inn in 1943. He centered his musical interests at the inn itself to support the inn. He created, rehearsed, and broadcast his radio programs from the stage of Shawnee's Worthington Hall in the 1950s.

Waring and His Pennsylvanians had a string of hits throughout the 1940s and 1950s, selling millions of albums. "Sleep", "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "Button Up Your Overcoat," "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor," and "Dancing in the Dark" are just a few of his many choral hits. For Sinatra's Reprise label, he released two albums with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, America, I Hear You Singing and 12 Songs of Christmas.

Fred Waring's song "Breezin' Along the Breeze" was used as a signature tune.

Waring founded the Fred Waring Choral Workshop in the old Castle Inn in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, which was also the home of Shawnee Press, the music publisher, which he founded in 1947. Performers were able to perform with precision, sensitivity, and awe at these sessions. Waring's choral singing career spread across the country when these vocalists returned home and shared what they had learned with fellow musicians. In June 1968, Fred Waring Music Workshop in the western United States was held in Reno, Nevada, as part of the University of Nevada's Summer Session curriculum. Waring staffed and managed this summer workshop for 37 years before he died.

With The Fred Waring Exhibition, which aired on CBS Television from June 20, 1948, to May 30, 1954, waring grew to television, winning numerous awards for Best Musical Program. (The performance lasted 60 minutes before 1952, and 30 minutes afterwards). Popular musical tastes in the 1960s and 1970s evolved to choral music, but Waring changed with the times, unveiling his Young Pennsylvanians, a group of young, long-haired performers who performed old favorites and choral arrangements of contemporary songs. He maintained his fame as a well-known touring attraction, logging over 40,000 miles a year.

Frederick Jacob Osius, an inventor who had invented an electric blender, went to Waring for financial support for an electric blender he had invented in the 1930s. The Osius patent (#2,109,501) was filed March 13, 1937 and was awarded March 1, 1938.

The Waring-owned Miracle Mixer was first introduced to the Chicago public at the National Restaurant Show, selling for $29.75. Fred Waring renamed his Miracle Mixer Corporation as the Waring Corporation in 1938, and the mixer's name was changed to the Waring Blendor ("o" in blendor, giving it a slight different from "blender").

The Waring Blendor became a common tool in hospitals for the introduction of particular diets as well as a key scientific research device. When making his polio vaccine, Jonas Salk used it. The millionth Waring Blendor was sold in 1954.

The Conair Corporation's war is now a part of the Conair Corporation.
