  Solid! -- Bob Eberly
Popular big band singer Bob Eberly spent much of his career with Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra.
In his early days, Bob, who changed the spelling of his last name because the announcer of the Milton Berle radio show kept mispronouncing it, gained prominence by winning the ''Allen Amateur Hour'' on Fred Allen's radio show.
Eberly started work in the spring of 1935, just before Tommy walked out on the orchestra.

If the name sounds familiar, it should -- Bob was the brother of Ray Eberle, the featured vocalist in the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
(Bob was the one who changed the spelling of his name...) No slouch himself, Eberly tied his star to the Dorsey Brothers band, and when the Dorseys went splitsville, he stuck with Jimmy.
In some ways Eberly was a bit of a throwback to the '30s crooning of Russ Columbo and Bing Crosby - lugubrious and schmaltzy without trying to swing.
