Inscribed photograph signed: "To Beth/Swing + Sway/Sammy
Kaye", in blue ink, B/w 8x10. Sammy Kaye (1910-1987), born Samuel William
Zarnocasy, 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 "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. Corners lightly worn. Top right corner creased. Otherwise, fine
condition.
