An American accordion player and orchestra leader, noted for his immensely popular musical variety television program, “The Lawrence Welk Show” (1955-1982), was born on 11th march 1903 in German immigrants in Strasburg, North Dakota. Welk's so-called champagne music featured the accordion and organ and was distinctive for its lively style. He studied the accordion while attending local public schools. He organized his first band in the 1920s He began receiving local and national radio exposure in the late 1920s. The show, which was renamed “The Lawrence Welk Show” in 1959, featured a 27-piece band and a resident cast that gave solo and ensemble performances. He himself played the accordion, occasionally danced with a cast member, and made famous his musical cue, “a-one, a-two,” and his frequent comment, “wonderful, wonderful,” which he pronounced “wunnerful, wunnerful.” In 1956 he added a second TV series, “Top Tunes and New Talent” (1956-1958). “The Lawrence Welk Show” was canceled in 1971, not for low ratings but for failing to attract younger viewers. The program continued to be produced in syndication and was distributed widely to local TV stations until 1982. He wrote three autobiographies, Wunnerful, Wunnerful! (1971), Ah One, Ah Two: Life with My Musical Family (1974) and You're Never Too Young (1981).
He died on May 17, 1992, in California, United States.
