Sammy Kaye signs a piece of paper for a fan
Signature: "To Diane/Sammy Kaye". 3¼x2½. 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. Toned.
