Frank John "Frankie" Yankovic (July 28, 1915 – December 24, 2008) was an American accordion player and polka musician. Known as "America's Polka King," Yankovic was considered the premier artist to play in the Slovenian style during his long career. He is not related to fellow accordionist "Weird Al" Yankovic, although the two have collaborated. Born to Slovene immigrant parents, Yankovic was raised in the Collinwood neighborhood on Cleveland's East Side.

The peak years of "America's Polka King" are poorly represented on CD, which makes this two-disc set of Frankie Yankovic's complete Standard radio transcriptions an essential document of his early years as a Columbia recording artist. These studio recordings from the late '40s feature versions of Yankovic's two biggest hits, "Blue Skirt Waltz" (performed here with a male vocal group instead of the Marlin Sisters) and "Just Because," both of which sold well in the pop and country fields
