While appearing at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles in 1929, Lucas was signed by Warner Brothers to sing in their new color musical, Gold Diggers of Broadway. He was very impressed by the production number offered to him which was based on the song "Painting The Clouds With Sunshine" , written especially for the film by Al Dubin and Joe Burke. After the picture was in production Lucas was given a second big production number, "Tiptoe Through The Tulips With Me" (also written by Dubin and Burke). In that sequence the chorines actually danced through red and yellow tulips as Nick sang. "Tiptoe Through The Tulips With Me " sold three million copies in its initial pressing as a record, and since that time over five million more copies of the Lucas recording have been bought.
Nick Lucas made several big hits in the 1920s and early 1930s but only one topped the charts, and that was "Tip-toe Through the Tulips With Me' . Million seller - No. 1 hit for 10 weeks.
