He began his career as a singer and announcer for radio station WTAG in Worcester, Massachusetts in the early 1920s.
His popularity spread rapidly leading Brunswick
Records (the second largest record company in the United States in the 1920s) to offer him an exclusive contract.

During these busy years, Gaylord also found time to provide vocal refrains on dance band records by the likes of
