SAMMY KAYE
Sammy Kaye signs his signature on an album leaf.
Autograph Sentiment signed: "Swing & Sway/Sammy Kaye", 6x4¼ album leaf. Dated (unknown hand) at lower left margin: "September 14, 1939". Sammy Kaye (1910-1987), was the leader of one of the most popular "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. Horizontal fold touches the lower loops of the "S" and "g" in first line of writing and nicks the "K" in Kaye. Three file holes at blank left margin. Rounded right corners. Overall, fine condition.
