family's orchestra, Ray Anthony had his own band in Cleveland, Ohio when he was
discovered by the legendary Glenn Miller. At age 18, Anthony was playing
first trumpet with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Anthony enlisted in the Navy
during WWII and was put in charge of a service show band that toured bases in
the Pacific. As a result of his talent and showmanship, the band won the award
as best service band. After his discharge in 1946, Anthony formed the Ray
Anthony Orchestra, which became a national sensation. His song, "The Bunny
Hop", started a new dance craze, and Anthony shot to the top of the charts
with his recordings of the themes from Dragnet and Peter
Gunn. The multi-talented Anthony also starred in 15 films and hosted
four television shows as well as appearing as a regular on the Las Vegas
club circuit. Another claim to fame was his marriage to B-movie queen, Mamie Van
Doren. Fine condition.
