*"Tuck In Kentucky And Smile" was composed by Holden, O'Brien, and Roberts.

After their initial meeting in 1919 Billy Jones teamed up with Earnest Hare performing as a vocal duo on Newark, New Jersey's WJZ radio sponsored by the 'Happiness Candy' store chain.

Beginning in the Summer of 1923 they landed their own program as "The Happiness Boys", moving to New York's WEAF and later NBC.
