"sweet" bands of the big band era. A popular performer on radio and in
venues from New York (the Commodore Hotel's Century Room, The Roosevelt
Grill, etc.) to the Hollywood Palladium to cities across America, Kaye
received his "million dollar tagline", "Swing and Sway With Sammy Kaye",
from an announcer at the Cabin Club in Cleveland, Ohio. Kaye was as well
known for his audience-participation novelty, "So You Want to Lead a Band?",
as he was for his hits, which included his theme song, "Kaye's Melody", and "It
Isn't Fair", "Daddy", "Room Full of Roses", "Charade" and "Harbor Lights". In
addition to being a prolific recording artist for RCA Victor, Columbia and
American Decca, Kaye and his band appeared in the films Iceland
(1942) and Song of the Open Road (1944), and Kaye wrote songs for 1987's
Radio Days. In 1986, he turned over his baton to Roger Thorpe, who
continues to lead The Sammy Kaye Orchestra today. Lightly soiled at corners.
Pencil note (unknown hand) on verso (no show through). Otherwise, fine
