Jul 26, 2008 - It dosn't surprise me at all. Ive been listening to this stuff since I was 5. If you want to check out some great Dorsey solo's listen to their early band 1920s early 30s - fantastic virtuosity.

Jul 26, 2008 - For any body who is interested the arranger for these two songs 'yes indeed' and 'We'll git it' was the great Sy Oliver (1930s Jimmy lunceford band - trp, arr). Still sounds good today.

Jul 26, 2008 - Hey Brew...nice to see you here.Great Video, must be from the early 50s, as Lynn Roberts joined Dorsey in 1952, as far as I know.

Jul 26, 2008 - Quite excellent! This is the music that made us feel young. Check out my song of tribute to the American and other allied troops fighting in Iran and Afghanistan. From Grandpa Clarence Jones. God bless you. The memories just keep coming. Thank you.

Jul 26, 2008 - She is Lynn Roberts and she started with the Dorsey Brothers Band when she was only 17! She was still in her teens in this clip. She is arguably the last of the girl big band singers and the only girl to sing with all these greats - Benny Goodman (10 yrs), Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Charlie Spivak and Sammy Kay. She still guests with Doc Severinson and sounds as good as EVER!

Jul 26, 2008 - sweet :) Who plays the clarinet in this video?

bcgordon101 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I was fortunate enough to see both Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey on stage together at a USO show at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md before being transported to Brooklyn and loaded on a troop ship with 15oo other soldiers headed for God knows where. It was rare for them to perform together because they fought like cats and dogs. I remember they had a beautiful young female singer who would hold the mic stand between her thighs when she sang and drove us soldiers crazy!!!!

Jul 26, 2008 - I used to love watching their TV show in the early 50's. It was a forerunner of the Ed Sullivan Show.

Jul 26, 2008 - I must say if it was not for youtube, so many people would never have a clue regarding the greats in music. God bless you for taking the time to upload this here. P.S. Lets keep those vintage turntables and records out of the landfills. They are not making those wonderful machines or records anymore. We are talking history here. If you are bored and have nothing to do, start learning how to restore them. You will be greatly rewarded in so many ways.
