Tracklist
Frankie Yankovic
Frankie Yankovic, universally known as King of the Polka, was born in West Virginia in 1915, the son of Slovenian immigrants. Inspired to take up the accordion as a teen, his dance band became hugely popular among mid-western Central European immigrants in the 1930s, crossing over to the pop charts with 1948's "Just Because." Until his 1998 death, Frankie Yankovic continued to be a polka superstar. Contrary to popular belief, he is not related to accordion-playing musical parodist Weird Al Yankovic, who claims that his parents induced him to take accordion lessons due to their shared surname.
