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. Ink and pencil note
