"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. Lightly creased at corners.
