(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. Soiled and lower margin and upper corners,
which are lightly creased. Overall, fine condition.
