SAMMY KAYE
Sepia publicity photograph of bandleader Sammy Kaye
Photograph signed: "Sincerely/Sammy Kaye". Sepia 8x10,
captioned at lower margin. 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. Lightly creased and
soiled at edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
